There is a hack with double.

decimal d1 = 0.0230000m;
MessageBox.Show(((double)d1).ToString());

It uses the most compact representation of the Decimal value by removing all trailing zeros, no matter how many non-zero values are in front of them. Check the explanation of the G (General) specifier for numeric formating at the docs. You should use

value.ToString(“G29″);

Now I use this to have a 'human' display (do not display the trailing zeros): decimal d = 12.103000m; Console.WriteLine(d.ToString("#.################################", CultureInfo.InvariantCulture)); ///Ouput: 12.103 Anyne have a better solution?

Thanks for this, finding good documentation from microsoft about formatting is a pain. Also this does not work for all datatypes, just decimal (and probably float etc), anyway, thanks again. Hey!
