How I could remove leading zeros in string C# WPF

Question

After I convert a decimal value salePr to string, using following code:

decimal salePr;
string salePrStr;
...
salePrStr = (salePr).ToString("0000.00");
'''

I'd like to get rid of leading zeros (in case result is <1000).

What is right and the best way to do this operation?

Answer 1

So why have you explicitly included them? Just use a format string of 0.00.

Answer 2

salePrStr = (salePr).ToString("###0.00");

Answer 3

It looks like you are trying to display currency, if you want to display it as currency, try salePrStr = String.Format("{0:C}", salePr) otherwise use the format 0.00

Answer 4

You could use trimstart to remove the leading zeros.

salePrStr = (salePr).ToString("0000.00").TrimStart(Convert.ToChar("0"));

Answer 5

The other answers are probably what you're looking for. If, for some reason, however, you actually want to keep the original strings (with leading zeroes), you can then write:

string salePrStr = salePr.ToString("0000.00");
string salePrStrShort = salePrStr.TrimStart('0');
