C# Decimal places

Vuk Stanojevic

Hi everyone,

i have int for which i need to show two decimal places even number is wihtouth decimal part.

So for example if number is 123.0 i need to show it as 12300, if it is 345.67 i need to show it as 34567.

Then i need to convert it and show as string in order to apply Padding option.

Basically what i need is to show string 123 as 0000000012300 or 345.67 as 34567.

I try with

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

but it doesn't solve my problem.

Can you help please?

Thank you.

You can parse into decimal/int like that.
private static void NumberConverter(string text) {
    decimal decNum = 0;
    var style = NumberStyles.Number | NumberStyles.AllowCurrencySymbol;
    var culture = CultureInfo.CreateSpecificCulture("en-GB");
    if ( Decimal.TryParse(text, style, culture, out decNum) ) {
        var intNum = (int)(decNum * 100);
        var resultText = intNum.ToString("D15");
        Console.WriteLine(resultText);
    } else {
        throw new Exception("Something go wrong!");
    }
}

You can use C# PadLeft and C# Replace() Method

String.PadLeft(int totalWidth, char paddingChar) method

public string Replace(char Oldchar, char Newchar) or public string Replace(string Oldvalue, string Newvalue)

string s1 = "12.34";
string s2 = s1.PadLeft(13,'0').Replace(".","") ;

Hi Kamil,
it can't be multiply with 100 since it's string.
Also, i have to get 0000000012300,not 12300.
Thank you.

The simplest solution is to multiply by 100 or as much as you need there .
123 * 100 = 12300
345.67 * 100 = 34567
