Two Decimal Places

[ptaylor965]

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

you can use

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

Hi,

Check this :

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

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

CStr(dblResult.ToString("#,##0.00"))

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

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")

strFormattedAmount= dAmount.ToString("N2")

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