calling .ToString() on Decimal values SOMETIMES appends a zero to end of string

[TS]

I have a decimal value stored in 2 separate properties and both are decimal.
in one the .toString() doesnt add an extra zero, in the other it does. They
are both exact same data type, so i cant figure it out, and both using
simple .ToString()

what is problem ( have seen other posts on internet with this problem)

thanks

What are the numbers you are using? Take a look at the section of the
MSDN documentation titled "Standard Numeric Format Strings", located at:

http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dwhawy9k.aspx

Specifically, look at the "G" format, as this is what the ToString
overload with no parameters is going to use. If you have need for a
specific format, then pass it to ToString.

Hi,

Can you post a short sample with the problem? your class (with only
those two properties) and the ToString() version you are using.

Hi

The ToString method of decimal type can be problematic, It has changed between .net versions and still has a lot of inconsistency. Similar problem was described in detail here:

Hope this helps,
