In C#, I'd like to convert some numbers to strings in a standard format, but preferably in a simple way, such as if you were going to output them rather than store them in string variables, a la: rather than use a bunch of string methods to make them all the same number of significant digits. Isn't there any way to do this?

You can even do things like
s += String.Format("{0:F2} ", num1);
s += String.Format("{0:F3}", num2);
This would give you a string of two numbers separated by a space.
One with 2 digits after the decimal point(which is the default, you don't have to mention it if you like) and one with 3 digits after the decimal point.
s += String.Format("{0:F2} ", num1);
s += String.Format("{0:F3}", num2);
This would give you a string of two numbers separated by a space.

But seriously in that contrived case you'd just write
string s = String.Format("{0:F2} {1:F3}", num1, num2); •

Rashakil : You are absolutly right! But...
This was a Quick Reply to Thread!
And I rarely use code tags for one or two lines of code, if I hurted your feelings : I'm sorry.

Works great.
I too was very confused when I first saw members to an int datatype...

With everything in .net being a class/object, what I think he means is if you were in c++ or any other lanugage, a data type such as int/string/char etc has no methods, its a datatype, whereas in .net, of course it has methods.
Did I just hear "You gotta help us, Doc. We've tried nothin' and we're all out of ideas" ? Is this you? Dont let this be you! I will put in as much effort as you seem to.
