How to get decimal value?

Question

I am measuring serverPerformance.

Right now I get this in milliseconds but I want to convert this into seconds when it is more or equal to 500 milliseconds.

I Accomplish this like this

   public static string ConvertMillisecondsToSeconds(long milliseconds)
    {
        if(milliseconds >= 500)
            return Math.Ceiling(TimeSpan.FromMilliseconds(milliseconds).TotalSeconds).ToString() + "s";

        return milliseconds.ToString() + "ms";
    }

My problem

When I return totalseconds without Math.ceiling I get for example: 0,846 seconds When I use math.Ceiling method I get 1 second.

Desiered result

0,8 seconds.

basically im searching for a method that will return a decimal value, with 2 decimals.

I actually tried Math.round but without the second paramater:(. Shame on me, thank you! — ThunD3eR, Mar 30 '16 at 08:59
What you ask is called rounding. To round a number, you need the `Round` method — Panagiotis Kanavos, Mar 30 '16 at 09:01

var milliseconds = 0.846;
milliseconds.ToString("0.00"); // Gives 0.85
