Prevent Double value being converted to N.NNNNNNE+NN in result
I have this rather simple statement:
... double.TryParse(p.ToString
p.ToString() is 123400000000000000
q is 1.234E+18
q is declared as a double. I need q to be stored as '123400000000000000' because I need to package it to a web service later and the java based web service is crapping out because it does not see '1.234E+18' as a double.

ToString() does not take arguments....
Edit: 'p' is an object, actually a datarow, so a more accurate representation of the code is
p[1].ToString()

p[1].ToString()
Hi codewrangler
did the .Net through an compilation issue, when you try to give this....
Actually C# will accept the arguments, although it will not be shown in the intellisense.

this has not fixed the problem, but i can get your suggestion to work if i do this... :)
double.TryParse(p[1].ToStr
however, as i mentioned, the double value is still in scientific notation....

yeah, i was afraid of that. problem is that the class that VS2010 autogenerated for the webservice has the element strictly defined as Double. So my hands are tied on that one....
The double output is as expected.
> the java based web service is crapping out because it does not see '1.234E+18' as a double.
No, that's a string representation of the value. So either the Java service expects a numeric integer string or you are sending a string but don't format it as needed.
> .. the element strictly defined as Double.
If you want a numeric and integer output, use Int64:
Int64 i;
i = Convert.ToInt64(p);
As I guess you have no control over the Java service, perhaps you will have to modify your service to output an Int64. It should not be that difficult.

but remember the number of digits will be constant in this case
