Formatting Zero Values?

[Mongr1l]

I have a label control that is bound to a field on a table in a dataset. The field is of type decimal.

I'm trying to format the field such that it shows 8 decimal places -> ds.somefld.ToString("0.00000000")

This works fine so long as there is a value greater than Zero. However, if the value is zero, all that shows is: "0".

Is there an easy way to resolve this?

try

Format(ds.somefld,"0.00000000")

I believe the following will format 0 correctly:

String.Format ("{0:F8}", 0)

--Rob

Err...I meant

String.Format ("{0:F8}", ds.somefld)

--Rob
