How to format a decimal without rounding it

Question

Good day

How to i format a decimal without rounding it

TotalNumber.ToString("0,0", CultureInfo.InvariantCulture)

or

TotalNumber.ToString("#,#")

These 2 strings are rounding 11822252.79 to 11,822,253

The results must be 11,822,252,79 or 11 822 252 79

Multiply by 100 first? Are you mixing the thousandth separator and the decimal separator? One should be a comma and the other a period. — juharr, Apr 18 '18 at 12:51

the Culture you use has `,` as thousanths seperator. You are not rounding, your are telling it to display only thousands. Use `"#,###.00"` and Invariant culture to get `11,822,252.79` — Patrick Artner, Apr 18 '18 at 13:13
`The results must be 11,822,252,79 or 11 822 252 79` Um, are you deliberately mixing up decimal and thousand separators there? — Nyerguds, Apr 18 '18 at 13:18

The Invariant Culture has , as thousanths seperator and . as decimals seperator.

You are not rounding, your format strings tells it to display only thousands, no decimals at all.

Use "#,###.00" and Invariant culture to get 11,822,252.79:

using System;
using System.Globalization;

public class Program
{
    public static void Main()
    {
        var n = 11822252.79m;

        Console.WriteLine( n.ToString("#,###.00", CultureInfo.InvariantCulture));
        Console.ReadLine(); 
    }
}

Output:

11,822,252.79
