I have a decimal variable which represents a donation amount. Currently I am displaying it on screen as a currency like so-
DonationAmount.ToString("C");
This gives the following output (given a US locale)
1 -> $1.00
2 -> $2.00
0.5 -> $0.50
I am happy with the first two example, but want to have "0.5" show as "50c".
My current solution is with a conditional-
if (DonationAmount > 1)
return (DonationAmount * 100m).ToString() + "c";
else
return DonationAmount.ToString("C");
Is there a better way?
