to display up two two decimal place you can use ToString("0.00");
like this
lblvalue.Text=(Convert.ToDouble(dr["vals"].ToString())).ToString("0.00");

Solution 1

Try to use decimal data type[^] like this decimal(5, 2) for range <-999.99, +999.99>.

Solution 2

Hi
Convert it to two decimal points when you fetch data from database as follows

SQL

SELECT Col1, Col2, CAST(Col3 AS DECIMAL(18,2)) AS Col3 FROM TABLE1

Or

You have to convert in your code behind.

C#

Math.Round(YourValue, 2).ToString();
