Format a number with X decimal places and InvariantCulture?


I want to format a number using ToString(CultureInfo.InvariantCulture) and also to 5 decimal places, which can be done using ToString("N5"). How can I do both together?


Solution

  • How about using the overload which takes both a format and a culture:

    decimal m = 123.4567890123m;
    string x = m.ToString("N5", CultureInfo.InvariantCulture);
    

    (Obviously substitute double for decimal if you're using that; there's an equivalent overload.)
