String formatting combine N2 and decimal

Question

I have decimals values and want to show them without values after the decimal point. For example

10.00 => 10.

I already have N2 formatting.

myValue.ToString("N2");

Is there a simple way to combine those two?

you need `ToString("N0")`. Note that it will **ROUND** the number as well. — tchelidze, Jun 25 '18 at 07:22
I doubt that the tag N2 fits this quesion. Look into its description. Seems your question does not havy anything to do with a CMS. — MakePeaceGreatAgain, Jun 25 '18 at 07:28

You can use a 0 placeholder followed by a period literal inserted into the format string. To insert a literal, escape it with a backslash. Note that a single backslash is already an escape for string literals, so you actually need two, or you can use a verbatim string, as in this example:

var d = 10.00M;
Console.WriteLine( d.ToString(@"0\.") );  //Outputs "10."

If you are worried about internationalization, don't use a period constant; use a decimal separator from the current culture.

string decimalSymbol = Thread.CurrentThread.CurrentCulture.NumberFormat.NumberDecimalSeparator;
Console.WriteLine( d.ToString(@"\" + decimalSymbol) );  //Outputs "10." or "10,"

... nice detail with the `.` – Stefan Jun 25 '18 at 07:34
Does this work in countries where `.` is _not_ the decimal separator? – Uwe Keim Jun 25 '18 at 07:37
@UweKeim It will output a `.` regardless of locale. – John Wu Jun 25 '18 at 09:05
