Two Decimal places using c#

Question

decimal Debitvalue = 1156.547m;

decimal DEBITAMT = Convert.ToDecimal(string.Format("{0:0.00}", Debitvalue));

I have to get only two decimal places but by using this code I am getting 1156.547. Let me know which format I have to use to display two decimal places.

Answer 1

Another option is to use the Decimal.Round Method

Answer 2

The best approach if you want to ALWAYS show two decimal places (even if your number only has one decimal place) is to use

yournumber.ToString("0.00");

Answer 3

Your question is asking to display two decimal places. Using the following String.format will help:

String.Format("{0:.##}", Debitvalue)

this will display then number with only two decimal places.

Or if you want the currency symbol displayed use the following:

String.Format("{0:C}", Debitvalue)

Answer 4

Use Math.Round() for rounding to two decimal places

decimal DEBITAMT = Math.Round(1156.547m, 2);

Answer 5

here is another approach

decimal decimalRounded = Decimal.Parse(Debitvalue.ToString("0.00"));

Answer 6

I use

decimal Debitvalue = 1156.547m;
decimal DEBITAMT = Convert.ToDecimal(string.Format("{0:F2}", Debitvalue));
