How do I format a decimal value to a string with a single digit after the comma/dot and leading spaces for values less than 100?
For example, a decimal value of
Another one with string interpolation (C# 6+):
double x = 123.456;
$"{x,15:N4}"// left pad with spaces to 15 total, numeric with fixed 4 decimals
Expression returns: " 123.4560"
All above solution will do rounding of decimal, just in case somebody is searching for solution without rounding
decimal dValue = Math.Truncate(1.199999 * 100) / 100;
dValue .ToString("0.00");//output 1.99
This pattern {0,5:###.0}
should work:
string.Format("{0,5:###.0}", 12.3456) //Output " 12.3"
string.Format("{0,5:###.0}", 10.011) //Output " 10.0"
string.Format("{0,5:###.0}", 123.123) //Output "123.1"
string.Format("{0,5:###.0}", 1.123) //Output " 1.1"
string.Format("{0,5:###.0}", 1234.123)//Output "1234.1"
value.ToString("N1");
Change the number for more decimal places.
EDIT: Missed the padding bit
value.ToString("N1").PadLeft(1);
