There is no such thing as decimal(3,2) or something like that. It looks like you mix up different things: data, numeric types, and string representation of numeric data. You need to work with data, not strings. And don't put strings in a database where you can use numeric types. If you do it, you need to fix the database schema.

You problem is merely a problem of formally of decimal data when you present it somewhere on the screen. Please see:

For string formatting of decimal values, please see:

If you divide the textbox value by 100 123 will be shown as 1.00 because of integer division. To solve this you should follow the below code:-

C#

double val = 537/100f; // f tells compiler to perform float division
Console.WriteLine(val.ToString("#0.00"));

Reply if this solves your problem. :)

this way also, this problem can be solved...

string s = (Convert.ToDouble(textbox1.Text) / 100).ToString("0.00");

Happy Coding!

Solution 1

Decimal (3,2) means total length is 3, out of which 2 are reserved for decimal. Then nothing will be before decimal.

Ex:- Decimal(12,8) means total length 12 out of which 8 before decimal and 4 after decimal.

So increase the length of your field in database
May it helps you
