Solution 1

For calculation purpose:
-> Whatever number you have, multiply it by 1000
-> then use Truncate
-> then divide by 1000.
Refer: MSDN: Math.Truncate Method (Double)[^]

If just for display purpose, you can try:

C#

double sample = 12.34567;
Console.Out.WriteLine(sample.ToString("#.000"));

Solution 2

The function Truncate seems to be simular to

Math.Floor(Number)

except truncets works for negative numbers as well:

As for display purposes there are quite a number of different formats:

So there is just left for you to pick one:)
