Question

, to fixed width like this

I dont want to add commas and decimal places as some suggested answers here are explaining how to do. Neither do I want to remove decimals, I only want to remove decimal point.

Answer 1

You can use string.Format() with custom format specifiers. See details here.

double dollars = 38.50;   // your value
int temp = (int)(dollars * 100);   // multiplication to get an integer
string result = string.Format("{0:000000000}", temp);

// Output: 000003850
