How do I format a decimal value to a string with a single digit after the comma/dot and leading spaces for values less than 100?
For example, a decimal value of 12.3456 should be output as " 12.3" with single leading space. 10.011 would be " 10.0". 123.123 is "123.1"
I'm looking for a solution, that works with standard/custom string formatting, i.e.
decimal value = 12.345456; Console.Write("{0:magic}", value); // 'magic' would be a fancy pattern.

To convert a Decimal value to its string representation using a specified culture and a specific format string, call the Decimal. ToString(String, IFormatProvider) method.
String strDouble = String. format("%. 2f", 1.23456); This will format the floating point number 1.23456 up-to 2 decimal places, because we have used two after decimal point in formatting instruction %.
Use the String. format() method to pad the string with spaces on left and right, and then replace these spaces with the given character using String. replace() method. For left padding, the syntax to use the String.
If the value to be formatted has more than the specified or default number of decimal places, the fractional value is rounded in the result string. If the value to the right of the number of specified decimal places is 5 or greater, the last digit in the result string is rounded away from zero.
This pattern {0,5:###.0} should work:
string.Format("{0,5:###.0}", 12.3456) //Output " 12.3" string.Format("{0,5:###.0}", 10.011) //Output " 10.0" string.Format("{0,5:###.0}", 123.123) //Output "123.1" string.Format("{0,5:###.0}", 1.123) //Output " 1.1" string.Format("{0,5:###.0}", 1234.123)//Output "1234.1" If you love us?
