I have decimal variable it has value

2.50
2.25

How can I convert it into string so I can get

2.5
2.25

Issue is 2.50 must be 2.5 in string.

Answer 1

String.Format("{0:0.##}", 2.50);

You can also convert it to a string and then do String.Trim('0'); to trim the trailing zeros off.

Answer 2

You could do it like this example shows:

String.Format("{0:0.00}", 123.4567);      // "123.46"
String.Format("{0:0.00}", 123.4);         // "123.40"
String.Format("{0:0.00}", 123.0);         // "123.00"

(Basically, using the String.Format function)
