Get number of digits before decimal point

Question

I have a variable of decimal type and I want to check the number of digits before decimal point in it. What should I do? For example, 467.45 should

Answer 1

I would try this:

Math.Truncate(467.45).ToString().Length

If you want to be sure not having some weird results for different cultures and with negative decimals, you better use this:

var myDecimal = 467.45m;
Math.Truncate(Math.Abs(myDecimal)).ToString(CultureInfo.InvariantCulture).Length
