How can I set the number of decimal places for a double value?

You have to be specific. If you want a string representing a double using
some number of decimal places, try

string str = myDouble.ToStri ng ("F3");

to get 3 decimal places. Or look up String.Format

For the rest of this post I shall only use either...

I am storing a 0.000 a System.Decimal in a DataRow. On retrieval the value is only 0 without the three decimal places. It looks like the Get property returns System.Decimal.Zero, but why???? I can't figure out why the design is so that the DataRow "alters" the value entered. In my application a decimal column in a row of a specific table has a fix number of decimal places according to certain premises. The

Hello All, Does anyone know of a way to test a decimal for the number of places it has before and after the decimal? I need to do something like this. decimal value1 = 172.45; // If value1 has more then two places before the decimal return zero. // Or if value1 has more then two places after the decimal return zero.

Any ideas why this statement: mBalanceChange = Double.Parse(strCurrentBalance, Globalization.NumberStyles.AllowThousands Or Globalization.NumberStyles.AllowDecimalPoint) - mBalanceDouble would leave me with a double containing over 10 decimal places when strCurrentBalance was a string containing a double with two decimal places and mBalanceDouble contained only two decimal places to begin with?

Problem: Using the sub routing below, when adding a value to another value the results eventually change from 2-decimal places to multiple decimal places. Basically, the amount stored should always only be 2 decimal places, because the values passed in are always 2 decimal places. Output from calling the sub routine multiple times. ...

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
