Question

I have a method that i want to return as a double with 8 dp.

so i have a value coming back from a sp and in the code i am simply doing

CheckSum = double.Parse(cmd.ExecuteScalar().ToString());

however, if the sp returns this :1541338.2349537
the returned double only has those 7dp, when i would like it to put a trailing zero on.
like this.. 1541338.23495370

i cant find a method on the double to format it – ie force it to 8dp, other than to return a formatted string.
which i dont want to do.
can someone explain please 🙂

thanks
