Does anyone know a way to introduce scale when using format strings?

e.g if had a string value that was “40092″ i could convert this to a decimal using Convert.ToDecimal(string.Format(“{0:#0.00}”, myValue));
this would return the value 40092.00

however, what if i wanted to introduce scale to it? i.e i would like my returned value to be 400.92. is there anyway to accomplish this using string.format format string method?

E.g. 1) when I execute this: MaxVal=UnsignedLong.MaxValue - 1 I get this - 1.84467440737096E+19 But I want this - 18446744073709551614 2) when I execute this: CDbl("112345678908765432345345456577.2342").ToString I get this - 1.12345678908765E+29 But I want the exact same number There are many numeric datatypes I am working with here, and also deal with numbers having varying decimals. I would like to write some generic code that can convert a number to string irrespective of the decimal places. Thanks in advance! Hi,
Could you please show me how to convert a number to string without an exponent?
E.g.
1) when I execute this: MaxVal=UnsignedLong.MaxValue – 1
I get this – 1.84467440737096E+19
But I want this – 18446744073709551614

2) when I execute this: CDbl(“112345678908765432345345456577.2342″).ToString
I get this – 1.12345678908765E+29
But I want the exact same number

There are many numeric datatypes I am working with here, and also deal with numbers having varying decimals. I would like to write some generic code that can convert a number to string irrespective of the decimal places.

Thanks in advance!
