I'm trying to show two decimal places and using the limited format specifiers it's not working. I'm trying this loop and I get the same result: 22.5034567...

 

 

            double myDouble = 22.503456785478;
            string[] formats = new string[]{"","f2","g2","n2", "d2", "0.00","N2"};
            
            for (int i  = 0;i<formats.Length;i++)
            {
                LCD.Clear();
                LCD.Write(formats[i] + ": " + myDouble.ToString()); //22.50 expected result
                Thread.Sleep(1000);
            }
Aside from writing a custom function to do this, is this a bug? Anyone else experience this? N2 netmf4.3

Try using this instead:  myDouble.ToString("F")

 

e.g.

  • LCD.Write(myDouble.ToString("F"));
  • Debug.Print(myDouble.ToString("F"));

No luck. Same result...I switched back to my GHI Cerb device and parameters F2, N2, G2 etc all work.

No it works correct:

Dim myDouble As Double = 22.503456785478

Debug.Print(myDouble.ToString("F2"))

result "22.50"

@JoopC I wish it were true....for my device. Are you testing on a netduino 2??

Have you tried

LCD.Write(formats[i] + ": " + myDouble.ToString(formats[i]));

With the code as stated I'd expect the ToString to return the same result every time.

Hi Gismo,

 

Just to double check I ran this on my N2P running NetMF 4.3, 1

 

I replaced LCD.Write with Debug.Print

public static void Main()
{
   double myDouble = 22.503456785478;
   string[] formats = new string[] { "", "f2", "g2", "n2", "d2", "0.00", "N2" };
 
   for (int i = 0; i < formats.Length; i++)
   {
       Debug.Print(formats[i] + ": " + myDouble.ToString()); //22.50 expected result
       Thread.Sleep(1000);
   }
}
 
Displayed ( as expected as format string not specified)
 
: 22.503456785478001
f2: 22.503456785478001
g2: 22.503456785478001
n2: 22.503456785478001
d2: 22.503456785478001
0.00: 22.503456785478001
N2: 22.503456785478001
The thread '<No Name>' (0x1) has exited with code 0 (0x0).
 
 
Then "fixed" version  (I had to remove 0.00 as it was unsupported)
 
public static void Main()
{
   double myDouble = 22.503456785478;
   string[] formats = new string[] { "", "f2", "g2", "n2", "d2", "N2" };
 
   for (int i = 0; i < formats.Length; i++)
   {
      Debug.Print(formats[i] + ": " + myDouble.ToString(formats[i])); 
      Thread.Sleep(1000);
   }
}
