Format a number to always have a sign and decimal separator [duplicate]

Answer 1

Try something like this:

double x = -12.43;
string xStr = x.ToString("+0.#####;-0.#####");

But this wouldn't help to display trailing decimal point. You can handle such situations using this method:

public static string MyToString(double x)
{
    return x == Math.Floor(x)
        ? x.ToString("+0;-0;0") + CultureInfo.CurrentCulture.NumberFormat.NumberDecimalSeparator
        : x.ToString("+0.####;-0.####");
}
