Format display of float variables

[John]

Hi,

I have varaiables declared as float, the result of .ToString() is like
1.0000. How can I get rid of the 0s in the decimal? e.g. 1.0000 will be 1
and 1.3500 will be 1.35

TIA

Hi John,

1.0000f is displayed as 1, and 1.3500 f is displayed as 1.35 (or rather
1,35 on my computer), using a regular ToString().

You can format the output in a number of ways, but empty zeroes will be
stripped by default, unless you specify them in a format.

Some formatting samples
