C# Currency to string

Question

I am querying a database field that returns a money value, I am assigning this to a string but it is adding extra 00 on the end.

e.g. Query returns 30.00

Answer 1

Do you want your string formatted using a currency character?

If so...

decimal m = 3.4;

string s = string.Format("{0:c}", m);

// s will be £3.40, $3.40, etc depending on your locale settings
