Decimal problem

[Jeff]

hey

ASP.NET 2.0

I'm created a webpage which displays money information. I mean it displays
amount of money like this:
23
32,6
456
1,5

The variable holding the amount is of DataType Double

As you see from the numbers above, some numbers have decimal and some
don't.. I would like to give all amount 2 digit decimals.. any suggestions
on how to do this?

Specify the format when you convert the value to a string:

amount.ToString("N2")

Specify the format when you convert the value to a string:

amount.ToString("N2")

Alternatively use "C", as in String.Format ("{0:C}", myMoneyAmount)

This will display it as a currency, appropriate to your location.
