String Format Currency without trailing zero

Question

String Format Currency without trailing zero

Cenk 911

Hello,

I am formatting numbers as follows;

@string.Format(new CultureInfo("en-US"), "{0:C5}", (detail.BuyUnitPrice * (detail.CostRatio / 100)) + detail.BuyUnitPrice)

But it adds zeros at the end of the number if it is 4.12 for example. ($4.12000) and of course, if the number is 3.12345, it is displayed like $3.12345

Is there a way to get rid of those trailing zeros and still have the currency sign?

Thanks in advance.

See if this would work

$"{Thread.CurrentThread.CurrentCulture.NumberFormat.CurrencySymbol}{decimal.Parse("3.12345"):G29}"

Actually, I am formatting the string inside of a data grid based on 3 currencies: EURO, USD, and TR. I am not sure how to use it the way you suggested.

<RadzenDataGridColumn TItem="OrderDetail" Property="BuyUnitPrice" Title="Buy Unit Price" OrderIndex="8">  
                                <Template Context="detail">  
                                    @switch (detail.Currency)  
                                    {  
                                        case "USD":  
                                            @string.Format(new CultureInfo("en-US"), "{0:C}", detail.BuyUnitPrice)  
                                            break;  
                                        case "EURO":  
                                            @string.Format(new CultureInfo("en-FR"), "{0:C}", detail.BuyUnitPrice)  
                                            break;  
                                        default:  
                                            @string.Format(new CultureInfo("tr-TR"), "{0:C}", detail.BuyUnitPrice)  
                                            break;  
                                    }  
                   
                                </EditTemplate>  
                            </RadzenDataGridColumn>

Does this work as expected? Why do you need "C5"?

Is there a way to get rid of those trailing zeros and still
have the currency sign?

Have you tried using a custom number format string?

You can use the '0' and '#' symbols to control the
number of zeros.

Decimal Cost = 10M;  
Decimal Price = 12345.5M;  
Decimal Total = 12345.67800M;  
  
Console.WriteLine(String.Format(new CultureInfo("en-US"),   
    "{0:$0.00###}", Cost));  
  
Console.WriteLine(String.Format(new CultureInfo("en-US"),   
    "{0:$0.00###}", Price));  
  
Console.WriteLine(String.Format(new CultureInfo("en-US"),   
    "{0:$0.00###}", Total));  
  
/*  
$10.00  
$12345.50  
$12345.678  
*/

Another example without using a hard coded currency symbol:

CultureInfo ciUS = CultureInfo.CreateSpecificCulture("en-US");  
string CurrSymbol = ciUS.NumberFormat.CurrencySymbol;  
Console.WriteLine(String.Format(new CultureInfo("en-US"),  
    "{0}{1:0.00###}", CurrSymbol, Total));  
  
/*  
$12345.678  
*/

For brevity, the redundant creation of a CultureInfo
object can be omitted since we have already created
one in this example:

CultureInfo ciUS = CultureInfo.CreateSpecificCulture("en-US");  
string CurrSymbol = ciUS.NumberFormat.CurrencySymbol;  
Console.WriteLine(String.Format(ciUS,  
    "{0}{1:0.00###}", CurrSymbol, Total));

@WayneAKing thank you for your help, this is how I ended.

@switch (detail.Currency)  
                                    {  
                                        case "USD":  
                                            @string.Format(new CultureInfo("en-US"), "{0}{1:0.#####}",new CultureInfo("en-US").NumberFormat.CurrencySymbol, detail.BuyUnitPrice)  
                                            break;  
                                        case "EURO":  
                                            @string.Format(new CultureInfo("en-FR"), "{0}{1:0.#####}",new CultureInfo("en-FR").NumberFormat.CurrencySymbol, detail.BuyUnitPrice)  
                                            break;  
                                        default:  
                                            @string.Format(new CultureInfo("tr-TR"), "{0}{1:0.#####}",new CultureInfo("tr-TR").NumberFormat.CurrencySymbol, detail.BuyUnitPrice)  
                                            break;  
                                    }
