Remove trailing zeros
.net, c#, decimal
Solution
Is it not as simple as this, if the input IS a string? You can use one of these:
string.Format("{0:G29}", decimal.Parse("2.0044"))
decimal.Parse("2.0044").ToString("G29")
2.0m.ToString("G29")
This should work for all input.
Update Check out the Standard Numeric Formats I've had to explicitly set the precision specifier to 29 as the docs clearly state:
However, if the number is a Decimal and the precision specifier is omitted, fixed-point notation is always used and trailing zeros are preserved
Update Konrad pointed out in the comments:
Watch out for values like 0.000001. G29 format will present them in the shortest possible way so it will switch to the exponential notation. `string.Format("{0:G29}", decimal.Parse("0.00000001",System.Globalization.CultureInfo.GetCultureInfo("en-US")))` will give "1E-08" as the result.
Problem
I have some fields returned by a collection as ``` 2.4200 2.0044 2.0000 ``` I want results like ``` 2.42 2.0044 2 ``` I tried with `String.Format`, but it returns `2.0000` and setting it to `N0` rounds the other values as well.
