ASP.NET - C# - Format string to numeric value
Posted on 2012-12-27
I have a value I am retrieving from a database. I am assigning the value to a text box on my asp.net form. The field in the database is a money value. I want the below result.
Database Value Result Value
0.000000 0.00
I have tried the following
string s = string.Format("{0:c}", rdr["myValue"].ToString())
this.myTextBox.text = s;
and
string s = string.Format("{0:#,0.00}"
this.myTextBox.text = s;
But neither works.
Any ideas?

what do you get? what is the value of s?
you can also try string.Format("{0:C}", rdr["myValue"].ToString())
you can also try string.Format("{0:C}", rdr["myValue"].ToString())
@p_davis - I'm getting "0.0000" as a result for
string s = string.Format("{0:c}", rdr["myValue"].ToString())
I tried string s = string.Format("{0:C}", rdr["myValue"].ToString())
and still getting "0.0000"
string s = string.Format("{0:c}", rdr["myValue"].ToString())
I tried string s = string.Format("{0:C}", rdr["myValue"].ToString())
and still getting "0.0000"

You cannot call ToString and use a numeric format at the same time. Cast the thing returned from the database to a numeric type; then apply the format.
e.g.
e.g.
string s = string.Format("{0:c}", (double)rdr["myValue"]);
