C# Currency to string

Question

I am querying a database field that returns a money value, I am assigning this to a string but it is adding extra 00 on the end.

e.g. Query returns 30.00

Answer 1

I'd use something like

string value = ReturnValue.ToString("0.00");

This uses the ToString overload that accepts a format string. The above format string "0.00" specifies two decimal places.
