Ok, I'm trying to figure out how to only get the two numbers after a decimal point. Like, I want 1.17, and I get 1.1730213... How can I get just that many digits? And I don't want just significant digits, either... If I get 1024.02, I want it to show as 1024.02.

If I need to word this better, please let me know...

Solution 1

You're looking for the String.Format function.

Then, this page (Custom Numeric Format Strings[^]) shows you what to put in as the format.
