Double to string conversion without scientific not

How to convert a double into a floating-point string representation without scientific notation in the .NET Framework?

"Small" samples (effective numbers may be of any size, such as 1.5E200 or 1e-200) :

3248971234698200000000000000000000000000000000
0.00000000000000000000000000000000000023897356978234562

None of the standard number formats are like this, and a custom format also doesn't seem to allow having an open number of digits after the decimal separator.

This is not a duplicate of How to convert double to string without the power to 10 representation (E-05) because the answers given there do not solve the issue at hand. The accepted solution in this question was to use a fixed point (such as 20 digits), which is not what I want. A fixed point formatting and trimming the redundant 0 doesn't solve the issue either because the max width for fixed width is 99 characters.

Note: the solution has to deal correctly with custom number formats (e.g. other decimal separator, depending on culture information).

Edit: The question is really only about displaing aforementioned numbers. I'm aware of how floating point numbers work and what numbers can be used and computed with them.

This is what I've got so far, seems to work, but maybe someone has a better solution:

private static readonly Regex rxScientific = new Regex(@"^(?<sign>-?)(?<head>\d+)(\.(?<tail>\d*?)0*)?E(?<exponent>[+\-]\d+)$", RegexOptions.IgnoreCase|RegexOptions.ExplicitCapture|RegexOptions.CultureInvariant);

public static string ToFloatingPointString(double value) {
    return ToFloatingPointString(value, NumberFormatInfo.CurrentInfo);
}

public static string ToFloatingPointString(double value, NumberFormatInfo formatInfo) {
    string result = value.ToString("r", NumberFormatInfo.InvariantInfo);
    Match match = rxScientific.Match(result);
    if (match.Success) {
        Debug.WriteLine("Found scientific format: {0} => [{1}] [{2}] [{3}] [{4}]", result, match.Groups["sign"], match.Groups["head"], match.Groups["tail"], match.Groups["exponent"]);
        int exponent = int.Parse(match.Groups["exponent"].Value, NumberStyles.Integer, NumberFormatInfo.InvariantInfo);
        StringBuilder builder = new StringBuilder(result.Length+Math.Abs(exponent));
        builder.Append(match.Groups["sign"].Value);
        if (exponent >= 0) {
            builder.Append(match.Groups["head"].Value);
            string tail = match.Groups["tail"].Value;
            if (exponent < tail.Length) {
                builder.Append(tail, 0, exponent);
                builder.Append(formatInfo.NumberDecimalSeparator);
                builder.Append(tail, exponent, tail.Length-exponent);
            } else {
                builder.Append(tail);
                builder.Append('0', exponent-tail.Length);
            }
        } else {
            builder.Append('0');
            builder.Append(formatInfo.NumberDecimalSeparator);
            builder.Append('0', (-exponent)-1);
            builder.Append(match.Groups["head"].Value);
            builder.Append(match.Groups["tail"].Value);
        }
        result = builder.ToString();
    }
    return result;
}

// test code
double x = 1.0;
for (int i = 0; i < 200; i++) {
    x /= 10;
}
Console.WriteLine(x);
Console.WriteLine(ToFloatingPointString(x));

This works fine for me...

double number = 1.5E+200;
string s = number.ToString("#");

//Output: "150000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000"

This is a string parsing solution where the source number (double) is converted into a string and parsed into its constituent components. It is then reassembled by rules into the full-length numeric representation. It also accounts for locale as requested.

Update: The tests of the conversions only include single-digit whole numbers, which is the norm, but the algorithm also works for something like: 239483.340901e-20

using System;
using System.Text;
using System.Globalization;
using System.Threading;

public class MyClass
{
    public static void Main()
    {
        Console.WriteLine(ToLongString(1.23e-2));            
        Console.WriteLine(ToLongString(1.234e-5));           // 0.00010234
        Console.WriteLine(ToLongString(1.2345E-10));         // 0.00000001002345
        Console.WriteLine(ToLongString(1.23456E-20));        // 0.00000000000000000100023456
        Console.WriteLine(ToLongString(5E-20));
        Console.WriteLine("");
        Console.WriteLine(ToLongString(1.23E+2));            // 123
        Console.WriteLine(ToLongString(1.234e5));            // 1023400
        Console.WriteLine(ToLongString(1.2345E10));          // 1002345000000
        Console.WriteLine(ToLongString(-7.576E-05));         // -0.00007576
        Console.WriteLine(ToLongString(1.23456e20));
        Console.WriteLine(ToLongString(5e+20));
        Console.WriteLine("");
        Console.WriteLine(ToLongString(9.1093822E-31));        // mass of an electron
        Console.WriteLine(ToLongString(5.9736e24));            // mass of the earth 

        Console.ReadLine();
    }

    private static string ToLongString(double input)
    {
        string strOrig = input.ToString();
        string str = strOrig.ToUpper();

        // if string representation was collapsed from scientific notation, just return it:
        if (!str.Contains("E")) return strOrig;

        bool negativeNumber = false;

        if (str[0] == '-')
        {
            str = str.Remove(0, 1);
            negativeNumber = true;
        }

        string sep = Thread.CurrentThread.CurrentCulture.NumberFormat.NumberDecimalSeparator;
        char decSeparator = sep.ToCharArray()[0];

        string[] exponentParts = str.Split('E');
        string[] decimalParts = exponentParts[0].Split(decSeparator);

        // fix missing decimal point:
        if (decimalParts.Length==1) decimalParts = new string[]{exponentParts[0],"0"};

        int exponentValue = int.Parse(exponentParts[1]);

        string newNumber = decimalParts[0] + decimalParts[1];

        string result;

        if (exponentValue > 0)
        {
            result = 
                newNumber + 
                GetZeros(exponentValue - decimalParts[1].Length);
        }
        else // negative exponent
        {
            result = 
                "0" + 
                decSeparator + 
                GetZeros(exponentValue + decimalParts[0].Length) + 
                newNumber;

            result = result.TrimEnd('0');
        }

        if (negativeNumber)
            result = "-" + result;

        return result;
    }

    private static string GetZeros(int zeroCount)
    {
        if (zeroCount < 0)

        for (int i = 0; i < zeroCount; i++) sb.Append("0");

For a general-purpose¹ solution you need to preserve 339 places:

doubleValue.ToString("0." + new string('#', 339))

The maximum number of non-zero decimal digits is 16. 15 are on the right side of the decimal point. The exponent can move those 15 digits a maximum of 324 places to the right. (See the range and precision.)

It works for double.Epsilon, double.MinValue, double.MaxValue, and anything in between.

The performance will be much greater than the regex/string manipulation solutions since all formatting and string work is done in one pass by unmanaged CLR code. Also, the code is much simpler to prove correct.

For ease of use and even better performance, make it a constant:

public static class FormatStrings
{
    public const string DoubleFixedPoint = "0.###################################################################################################################################################################################################################################################################################################################################################";
}

¹ Update: I mistakenly said that this was also a lossless solution. In fact it is not, since ToString does its normal display rounding for all formats except r. Live example. Thanks, @Loathing! Please see Lothing’s answer if you need the ability to roundtrip in fixed point notation (i.e, if you’re using .ToString("r") today).

The problem using #.###...### or F99 is that it doesn't preserve precision at the ending decimal places, e.g:

String t1 = (0.0001/7).ToString("0." + new string('#', 339)); // 0.0000142857142857143
String t2 = (0.0001/7).ToString("r");                         //      1.4285714285714287E-05

The problem with DecimalConverter.cs is that it is slow. This code is the same idea as Sasik's answer, but twice as fast. Unit test method at bottom.

public static class RoundTrip {

    private static String[] zeros = new String[1000];

    static RoundTrip() {
        for (int i = 0; i < zeros.Length; i++) {
            zeros[i] = new String('0', i);
        }
    }

    private static String ToRoundTrip(double value) {
        String str = value.ToString("r");
        int x = str.IndexOf('E');
        if (x < 0) return str;

        int x1 = x + 1;
        String exp = str.Substring(x1, str.Length - x1);
        int e = int.Parse(exp);

        String s = null;
        int numDecimals = 0;
        if (value < 0) {
            int len = x - 3;
            if (e >= 0) {
                if (len > 0) {
                    s = str.Substring(0, 2) + str.Substring(3, len);
                    numDecimals = len;
                }
                else
                    s = str.Substring(0, 2);
            }
            else {
                // remove the leading minus sign
                if (len > 0) {
                    s = str.Substring(1, 1) + str.Substring(3, len);
                    numDecimals = len;
                }
                else
                    s = str.Substring(1, 1);
            }
        }
        else {
            int len = x - 2;
            if (len > 0) {
                s = str[0] + str.Substring(2, len);
                numDecimals = len;
            }
            else
                s = str[0].ToString();
        }

        if (e >= 0) {
            e = e - numDecimals;
            String z = (e < zeros.Length ? zeros[e] : new String('0', e));
            s = s + z;
        }
        else {
            e = (-e - 1);
            String z = (e < zeros.Length ? zeros[e] : new String('0', e));
            if (value < 0)
                s = "-0." + z + s;
            else
                s = "0." + z + s;
        }

        return s;
    }

    private static void RoundTripUnitTest() {
        StringBuilder sb33 = new StringBuilder();
        double[] values = new [] { 123450000000000000.0, 1.0 / 7, 10000000000.0/7, 100000000000000000.0/7, 0.001/7, 0.0001/7, 100000000000000000.0, 0.00000000001,
         1.23e-2, 1.234e-5, 1.2345E-10, 1.23456E-20, 5E-20, 1.23E+2, 1.234e5, 1.2345E10, -7.576E-05, 1.23456e20, 5e+20, 9.1093822E-31, 5.9736e24, double.Epsilon };

        foreach (int sign in new [] { 1, -1 }) {
            foreach (double val in values) {
                double val2 = sign * val;
                String s1 = val2.ToString("r");
                String s2 = ToRoundTrip(val2);

                double val2_ = double.Parse(s2);
                double diff = Math.Abs(val2 - val2_);
                if (diff != 0) {
                    throw new Exception("Value {0} did not pass ToRoundTrip.".Format2(val.ToString("r")));
                }

I had a similar problem and this worked for me:

doubleValue.ToString("F99").TrimEnd('0')

F99 may be overkill, but you get the idea.
