I want to show a decimal to 6 decimal places, even if it contains 6 x 0's For example:

3.000000
5.100000
3.456789

and so forth, is this possible?

Check http://www.csharp-examples.net/string-format-double/ - I'm sure this has been asked many times before though — ChrisF, Dec 07 '11 at 09:20

The problem with that is, that is converts it to a string, i need to keep it in a decimal format, as that is the datatype stored in the database. – CallumVass Dec 07 '11 at 09:31

@BiffBaffBoff What you want looks strange because decimal format has nothing to do with its formatted output. – Iarek Dec 07 '11 at 10:11
