How to make sure a zero is always at the end

I need to make sure that a double always ends with 0

6 = 6.0  
5.9876577878 = 5.98765778780

I tried the format but did not bring the expected result.

How can this be done?

Unless you're extremely liberal about how many zeros are at the end of the number (i.e. 1 OR MORE zeros is okay), then I think you'd have to check the resulting string to see if there's a zero after the decimal point, and add one or both if they aren't there.

Not sure if the String.Format method allows you to do this. Here's something you can do though:

public static class DoubleUtils {
    public static String EnsureEndsWithZero(this double value) {
        String str = value.ToString();
        if(!str.EndsWith("0")) {
            if(str.Contains(".")) {
                str += "0";
            } else {
                str += ".0";
            }
        }
        return str;
    }
}

Usage:

double val = 10.1;
Console.WriteLine(val.EnsureEndsWithZero());
