Hi
I am having trouble trying to format a number string to two decimal places
if the number ends in a 0
It formats fine otherwise.
For example if PrincRepay is 78.20 it will display it as 78.2
PrincRepay, payment and IntAmt are double
PrincRepay = Math.Round(payment - IntAmt,2);
PrincRepayStr = PrincRepay.ToString("N2");
Is there anyway around this
Thanks in advance

Hi Bill,
Try this:
System.Globalization.NumberFormatInfo nfi = new
System.Globalization.NumberFormatInfo();
nfi.NumberDecimalDigits = 2;
double i = 78.2;
string s = i.ToString("N", nfi);
Console.WriteLine(s); // Will output 78.20
Regards,
Pete

Hi Pete
I tried this however I received the same result
System.Globalization.NumberFormatInfo nfi = new
System.Globalization.NumberFormatInfo();
nfi.NumberDecimalDigits = 2;
PrincRepayStr = PrincRepay.ToString("N", nfi);

Hi Bill,
Perhaps you are running a different CurrentCulture that I am. Try the code
below which specifies the culture. If this does not work, maybe the problem
is somewhere else along the line.
System.Globalization.NumberFormatInfo nfi = new
System.Globalization.CultureInfo("en-US", false).NumberFormat;
nfi.NumberDecimalDigits = 2;
double PrincRepay = 78.2;
string PrincRepayStr = PrincRepay.ToString("N", nfi);
// PrincRepayStr is "78.20"

Peter

Hi Bill,
I am not sure why I get this and you don't but if I do the following:
double d = 78.2;
Console.WriteLine(d.ToString("N2"));
Then I get 78.20 printed on the Console.

This works for me as well. You might try:
d.ToString("0.00")
Although I suspect there is something else fouling up your code.
