displaying decimal number 12.00 (not 12)

[Dwight]

Hey all,

How can I display decimal number 12 (data comes from table field that holds
decimals) as 12.00? I've tried converting it to string, converting it to
decimal, etc... but at the time I display it (either through a messagebox or
to a text control, or to a datagrid), it'll display 12. Since I'm
displaying currency, I need it to display correctly.

Thanks in advance,
Dwight

Hi,

What is the type of the field, if you are using double for the currency
then you should use double.ToString("C") and it will format the double
according to the locale.


Hope this help,

It worked great. I had searched for some help in the Net but couldn't find
anything.
I guess I was using the wrong keywords.

Thanks.
