Formatting decimal numbers in C#

Question

How can I transform these numbers

Examples:

1. 77.0227
2. 0.0803
3. 1.1567

Into these numbers respectively:

1. 77,02
2. 8,03
3. 1,16

This all needs to be done with the same "formatting". These values come from a stored Procedure in SQL , and they are always different, but they need to be in the correct format. They are all Percent Values.

Answer 1

You can use the fixed-point ("F") format specifier to round to two digits:

decimal number = 77.0227m;
string result = number.ToString("F2");

If this doesn't give you the desired format(no commas but dots for example), then you have to pass the desired culture. Presuming you want spanish:

var spanishCulture = new CultureInfo("es-ES");
string result = number.ToString("F2", spanishCulture);

Answer 2

If you need commas as decimal separator you should need to specify the culture; like this:

string result = string.Format(new System.Globalization.CultureInfo("es-ES"), "{0:#,##0.00}", inputValue);

I'm supposing Spain's culture (Spanish language), so trying with that code.
