Two Decimal places using c#

decimal Debitvalue = 1156.547m;

decimal DEBITAMT = Convert.ToDecimal(string.Format("{0:0.00}", Debitvalue));

I have to get only two decimal places but by using this code I am getting 1156.547. Let me know which format I have to use to display two decimal places.

Your question is asking to display two decimal places. Using the following String.format will help:

String.Format("{0:.##}", Debitvalue)

this will display then number with up to two decimal places(e.g. 2.10 would be shown as 2.1 ).

Use "{0:.00}", if you want always show two decimal places(e.g. 2.10 would be shown as 2.10 )

Or if you want the currency symbol displayed use the following:

String.Format("{0:C}", Debitvalue)

Use Math.Round() for rounding to two decimal places

decimal DEBITAMT = Math.Round(1156.547m, 2);

If you want to round the decimal, look at Math.Round()

The best approach if you want to ALWAYS show two decimal places (even if your number only has one decimal place) is to use

yournumber.ToString("0.00");

I use

decimal Debitvalue = 1156.547m;
decimal DEBITAMT = Convert.ToDecimal(string.Format("{0:F2}", Debitvalue));

here is another approach

decimal decimalRounded = Decimal.Parse(Debitvalue.ToString("0.00"));

For only to display, property of String can be used as following..

double value = 123.456789;
String.Format("{0:0.00}", value);

Using System.Math.Round. This value can be assigned to others or manipulated as required..

double value = 123.456789;
System.Math.Round(value, 2);

Another way :

decimal.Round(decimalvalue, 2, MidpointRounding.AwayFromZero);

Probably a variant of the other examples, but I use this method to also make sure a dot is shown before the decimal places and not a comma:

someValue.ToString("0.00", CultureInfo.InvariantCulture)

Another option is to use the Decimal.Round Method

To display two decimal digits, try the given syntax.

string.Format("{0:0.00}", Debitvalue)

If someone looking for a way to display decimal places even if it ends with ".00", use this:

String.Format("{0:n1}", value)

In some tests here, it worked perfectly this way:

Decimal.Round(value, 2);

Hope this helps
