You can do it like this,

decimal.Round(yourValue, 2, MidpointRounding.AwayFromZero);

Either you use this 

var value = 2.346;
var str = value.ToString("0.00");

or

decimal.Round(yourValue, 2, MidpointRounding.AwayFromZero); //as in msdn site which rounds a decimal value to a specified precision.

or use Round function like this

decimal a = 1.994444M;

Math.Round(a, 2);

It's not clear what you mean by "I don't use format function in C#" but of course you could use string.Format. However, using double.ToString would probably be simpler:

Index = Convert.ToDouble(g.Trim()).ToString("0.##");

(I've changed the leading ## to 0 to ensure that there's always a leading digit, so you don't get ".5" for example. Obviously if you really want the leading digits to be optional, change it to "#.##". I don't see a benefit in using ## as a prefix though.)

However:

  • This will use the current culture's decimal separator; is that what you want, or do you always want to use .?
  • If the decimal representation of the number is important, you may well not want to use double at all. Are you sure you shouldn't be using decimal?
