How do I format a double to a string and only show decimal digits when necessary?

Question

I have code like:

lblFranshizShowInvwNoskhehEdit.Text = string.Format(\"{0:n}\",
    (double)(int.Parse(drDarman[\"FranshizDarsad\"].ToString()) * 
        C         


        

Answer 1

You can just do:

string.Format("{0}", yourDouble);

It will include only digits when necessary.

If you want other examples of formatting doubles to string check out this link.

EDIT: Based on your comment you want the , seperator so you could do:

string.Format("{0:0,0.########}", yourDouble);

Just put as many # for the max number of decimal places you want to show. It will only show the digits when necessary but up to the maximum digits based on how many # you include in the format. The # means only show a digit if necessary so if you give a number like 123 with no decimal, it will display as 1,234 but if you give it 1234.456, it will display as 1,234.456. If you go beyond the max digits you specified they will be rounded.

EDIT: To fix your double zero scenario just change it to:

string.Format("{0:#,0.########}", yourDouble);

That should work perfectly now :)

Answer 2

this is mine :

string.Format("{0:n2}", double);
