Hi

I have doone a program such that using xpath , to read data's from xml and display it on a form.

now for ex:

XPathExpression Expr2;
Expr2 = oXPathNav.Compile("/tmp_day_stats//td_value");

XmlNamespaceManager oxmlNSManager = new XmlNamespaceManager(oXPathNav.NameTable);
oxmlNSManager.AddNamespace("tmp_day_stats", "http://myserver/myschemas/tmp_day_stats");

Expr2.SetContext(oxmlNSManager);

XPathNodeIterator iterator2 = oXPathNav.Select(Expr2);
while (iterator2.MoveNext())
{
this.textBox2.Text.ToString += this.textBox2.Text == "" ? iterator2.Current.Value: "\r\n"+ iterator2.Current.Value;
}

the above program what it does uis that read all the values of td_value from the xml file and display them in the textbox2.

ie, the output is as follows

900909.87887
980126.767
353553.543
776668.6466

now i have to format these numbers as follows

900909.87
980126.76
353553.54
776668.64

ie, after decimal i should have only 2 values to be shown.
how to format it . please help me to get this..

Code:

doubleVariable.ToString("F2");

900909.87887 is converted to 900909.88

Code:

string temp=a.ToString("R");
yourResultString=temp.Substring(0,temp.LastIndexOf('.')+3);

900909.87887 is converted to 900909.87
