Convert double to string without loss of digits after zero
Hello,
I'm developing in VB.NET, and confronted with this idiotic problem.
I have a double variable i need to convert to a string.
dim x as double = 152.364484546401
When using Cstr() to convert this double to a string, i lose my last ten digits after zero, leaving me with 152,36.
How can i prevent this kind of truncation?
Thanks,

Doesn't seem to work.
Seems such a simple thing, but it turns out wrong every time I try something to solve it...

I tested here, and my string contains the same as the double.

I tested too, in Immediate window:
1.5454545454545.ToString :
gives the result wanted
but when working with a double variable, it's not working anymore:
mydoublevar.Tostring
1.5454545454545.ToString :
gives the result wanted
but when working with a double variable, it's not working anymore:
mydoublevar.Tostring
Very strange. I created a new console-application and added those 2 statements and added a breakpoint at the latest line and I saw that it went good.
Did you only try it on the immediate window or also in code with a breakpoint ?

I tried it In immediate window and through code with a breakpoint.
I'm not some noob in programming so this is really driving me nuts to be stuck at this kind of problem.
Is this Culture related perhaps?

That's a possiblitie.
My double gave me: 152.364484546401
My string gave me: 152,364484546401
My double gave me: 152.364484546401
My string gave me: 152,364484546401

Lol this sucks, what options do I have to rule out any Culture related dependencies?

Thanks for the help, but nothing new there.
As you can see in the file attached, my double variable contains every digit i need, but when performing the ToString after it, it freaks out.
