Round Double To Two Decimal Places [duplicate]

Answer 1

double someValue = 2.346;    
String.Format("{0:0.00}", someValue);

Answer 2

double someValue = 2.346;    
string displayString = someValue.ToString("0.00");

Note that double.ToString (and therefore string.Format()) uses midpoint rounding away from zero, so 0.125 becomes 0.13. This is usually the desired behavior for display. These strings should obviously not be used for round-tripping.

This method is also inappropriate for rounding that is required in mathematical calculations (where MidpointRounding.ToEven is usually the best approach). In that case, Math.Round() should be used.

Answer 3

Round the value to the desired precision, and then format it. Always prefer the version of Math.Round containing the mid-point rounding param. This param specify how to handle mid-point values (5) as last digit.

If you don't specify AwayFromZero as the value for param, you'll get the default behaviour, which is ToEven. For example, using ToEven as rounding method, you get:

Math.Round(2.025,2)==2.02 and

Math.Round(2.035,2)==2.04

instead, using MidPoint.AwayFromZero param:

Math.Round(2.025,2,MidpointRounding.AwayFromZero)==2.03 and

Math.Round(2.035,2,MidpointRounding.AwayFromZero)==2.04

So, for a normal rounding, it's best to use this code:

var value=2.346;
var result = Math.Round(value, 2, MidpointRounding.AwayFromZero);
var str=String.Format("{0:0.00}", result );
