using Math.Truncate to two decimals

I have this number: 11,806.206193333.

I was using Math.Truncate(val * 100) / 100 to hopefully change to 11,806.20.

But the outsome came out to be 11806.00. What went wrong?

Thanks.

Your logic is correct. This works perfectly:

decimal val = 11806.206193333m;
decimal truncated =  Math.Truncate(val * 100) / 100;

Console.WriteLine("{0:N2}", truncated);

This will print 11,806.20 (on a US-English system).
