I need to convert a decimal to a string with N decimals (two or four) and NO thousand separator:
'XXXXXXX (dot) DDDDD'
The problem with CultureInfo.InvariantCulture is that is places ',' to separate thousands.
UPDATE
This should work for decimal and double types.

Round(temp, 2); Alternatively, if you want the result as a string, just parse it and format it to two decimal places: double temp = Double.
This symbol can be a period ("."), as is common in United States and other English-speaking countries, or a comma (","), as in continental Europe. Decimal point and decimal comma are also common names for the decimal separator.
The character used as the thousands separatorIn the United States, this character is a comma (,). In Germany, it is a period (.). Thus one thousand and twenty-five is displayed as 1,025 in the United States and 1.025 in Germany. In Sweden, the thousands separator is a space.
as decimal sign instead of a comma? Some languages, like French, Italian, German, or Portuguese, use a comma as decimal separator. The appearance of numbers in Calc depends on the language settings.
For a decimal, use the ToString method, and specify the Invariant culture to get a period as decimal separator:
value.ToString("0.00", System.Globalization.CultureInfo.InvariantCulture) The long type is an integer, so there is no fraction part. You can just format it into a string and add some zeros afterwards:
value.ToString() + ".00" It's really easy to specify your own decimal separator. Just took me about 2 hours to figure it out :D. You see that you were using the current ou other culture that you specify right? Well, the only thing the parser needs is an IFormatProvider. If you give it the CultureInfo.CurrentCulture.NumberFormat as a formatter, it will format the double according to your current culture's NumberDecimalSeparator. What I did was just to create a new instance of the NumberFormatInfo class and set it's NumberDecimalSeparator property to whichever separator string I wanted. Complete code below:
double value = 2.3d; NumberFormatInfo nfi = new NumberFormatInfo(); nfi.NumberDecimalSeparator = "-"; string x = value.ToString(nfi); The result? "2-3"
