Two Decimal Places

Expand Post »

Hi,
Could you please show me how to get
1.9
to show with two decimal places (1.90)

you can use

VB.NET Syntax (Toggle Plain Text)
Math.Round(1.99999999, 2)
Math.Round(1.99999999, 2)

if you want to bring the decimal places down to two
but how do you increase from zero or one decimal place up to two?

Thanks
Peter

Re: Two Decimal Places

Hi,

Check this :

(Toggle Plain Text)

TextBox1.Text = Format(1.9, "0.00")
 
TextBox2.Text = Format(22, "0.00")

You can also use; assuming the variable is named dblResult...

VB.NET Syntax (Toggle Plain Text)
 CStr(dblResult.ToString("#,##0.00"))
 CStr(dblResult.ToString("#,##0.00"))

It worked for me and it does round up/down as needed.

vb.net - two decimal places (without currency symbol)

If you store your number in a variable of decimal type, you can convert into a string with two decimal places (including .00) this way:

Dim dAmount as Decimal
Dim strFormattedAmount as String

strFormattedAmount= dAmount.ToString("N2")

Try this:
String.Format("{0:f2}", CType("10.22222222", Decimal))
