Decimal - truncate trailing zeros

Question

I noticed that .NET has some funky/unintuitive behavior when it comes to decimals and trailing zeros.

0m == 0.000m //true
0.1m == 0.1000m //true
         


        

Answer 1

I don't like it much, but it works (for some range of values, at least)...

    static decimal Normalize(decimal value)
    {
        long div = 1;
        while(value - decimal.Truncate(value) != 0)
        {
            div *= 10;
            value *= 10;
        }
        if(div != 1) {
            value = (decimal)(long)value / div;
        }
        return value;
    }
