How to convert double to string without the power to 10 representation (E-05)
How to convert double to string without the power to 10 representation (E-05)
double value = 0.000099999999833333343;
string text = value.ToString();
Console.WriteLine(text); // 9,99999998333333E-05
I'd like the string text to be 0.000099999999833333343 (or nearly that, I'm not doing rocket science:)
I've tried the following variants
Console.WriteLine(value.ToString()); // 9,99999998333333E-05
Console.WriteLine(value.ToString("R20")); // 9,9999999833333343E-05
Console.WriteLine(value.ToString("N20")); // 0,00009999999983333330
Console.WriteLine(String.Format("{0:F20}", value)); // 0,00009999999983333330
Doing tostring N20 or format F20 seems closest to what I want, but I do end up with a lot of trailing zeros, is there a clever way to avoid this? I'd like to get as close to the double representation as possible 0.000099999999833333343
Solution 1:
Use String.Format() with the format specifier. I think you want {0:F20} or so.
string formatted = String.Format("{0:F20}", value);
Solution 2:
How about
Convert.ToDecimal(doubleValue).ToString()
Solution 3:
You don't need string.Format()
. Just put the right format string in the existing .ToString()
method. Something like "N" should do.
Solution 4:
Use string.Format
with an appropriate format specifier.
