Answer 1

I could be wrong, but isn't it like this?

data.ToString("n");

Answer 2

string strdScaleFactor = dScaleFactor.ToString(); // where dScaleFactor = 3.531467E-05

decimal decimalScaleFactor = Decimal.Parse(strdScaleFactor, System.Globalization.NumberStyles.Float);

Answer 3

In the old days when we had to write our own formatters, we'd isolate the mantissa and exponent and format them separately.

In this article by Jon Skeet (https://csharpindepth.com/articles/FloatingPoint) he provides a link to his DoubleConverter.cs routine that should do exactly what you want. Skeet also refers to this at extracting mantissa and exponent from double in c#.

Answer 4

The obligatory Logarithm-based solution. Note that this solution, because it involves doing math, may reduce the accuracy of your number a little bit. Not heavily tested.

private static string DoubleToLongString(double x)
{
    int shift = (int)Math.Log10(x);
    if (Math.Abs(shift) <= 2)
    {
        return x.ToString();
    }

    if (shift < 0)
    {
        double y = x * Math.Pow(10, -shift);
        return "0.".PadRight(-shift + 2, '0') + y.ToString().Substring(2);
    }
    else
    {
        double y = x * Math.Pow(10, 2 - shift);
        return y + "".PadRight(shift - 2, '0');
    }
}

Edit: If the decimal point crosses non-zero part of the number, this algorithm will fail miserably. I tried for simple and went too far.

try this one:

public static string DoubleToFullString(double value, 
                                        NumberFormatInfo formatInfo)
{
    string[] valueExpSplit;
    string result, decimalSeparator;
    int indexOfDecimalSeparator, exp;

    valueExpSplit = value.ToString("r", formatInfo)
                         .ToUpper()
                         .Split(new char[] { 'E' });

    if (valueExpSplit.Length > 1)
    {
        result = valueExpSplit[0];
        exp = int.Parse(valueExpSplit[1]);
        decimalSeparator = formatInfo.NumberDecimalSeparator;

        if ((indexOfDecimalSeparator 
             = valueExpSplit[0].IndexOf(decimalSeparator)) > -1)
        {
            exp -= (result.Length - indexOfDecimalSeparator - 1);
            result = result.Replace(decimalSeparator, "");
        }

        if (exp >= 0) result += new string('0', Math.Abs(exp));
        else
        {
            exp = Math.Abs(exp);
            if (exp >= result.Length)
            {
                result = "0." + new string('0', exp - result.Length) 
                             + result;
            }
            else
            {
                result = result.Insert(result.Length - exp, decimalSeparator);
            }
        }
    }
    else result = valueExpSplit[0];

    return result;
}

Answer 6

My solution was using the custom formats. try this:

double d;
d = 1234.12341234;
d.ToString("#########0.#########");
