How to specify scaling down by 100 in custom numeric format string?

I need to scale down a number by 100 (something like what the ‘,’ operator does, scales it down by 1000)

How do i accomplish this ?

I need to divide the number by 100 and not just the comma’s..

If i have a number 123456.78 i need my output as 1234.5678…

Answer 1

Write a simple method

   public static string FormatNumberSpecialNumber(double inputString)
   {
       string tempString;
       tempString = string.Format("{0:#.#####}",(inputString / 100));
       return tempString;
   }

usage

var number = FormatNumberSpecialNumber(123456.78);
