Get number of digits before decimal point

Question

I have a variable of decimal type and I want to check the number of digits before decimal point in it. What should I do? For example, 467.45 should

Answer 1

You could use ToString function with a custom format.

Decimal value = 467.45m;
int count = Math.Abs(value).ToString("#", System.Globalization.CultureInfo.InvariantCulture).Length;

The # specify you only want the characters before the .

The System.Globalization.CultureInfo.InvariantCulture ensure you won't get any formating from the Region Option.
