scientific notation

[masoud bayan]

I have some values in type of double such 0.00009 , 0.0000007, when I want
to show them in a text box and convert them to string they are changed to
scientific notation while I want to show them as they are.
I tried to use tostring("f") but it needs to have a precision number after
*f* which will cause always have fix number of characters (for example if
use f10 then 0.09 is converted to 0.09000000 while I need to show it as
0.09).
do you any suggestion of how I can convert such a numbers to string and show
them as they are not as scientific notation?

Thanks for any feedback

You may be able to use the "g" format specifier if you have a maximum number
of decimal places you could accept. For anything more complex (e.g.,
0.00009, but also 0.023), you'll need to write some code to choose between
various formatting strings depending on the value of your variable.

try ToString("0.########")...
