Using C# String.Format “{0:p0}” without the leading space before percentage sign

Simplest expresssion is:  

String.Format(“{0:0%}”, 0.10)

A more elegant solution is:  

Use the NumberFormatInfo.PercentPositivePattern Property: 

NumberFormatInfo numberInfo = new NumberFormatInfo();
numberInfo.PercentPositivePattern = 1;
Console.WriteLine(String.Format("{0}", 0.10.ToString("P0",numberInfo)));

Formatting RDL/RDLC values as percentage

I thought I’d share how to format percentage values in ReportViewer report.
Say your data source has the following fields:

  • TotalLow
  • TotalHigh
  • Total

Suppose we want to display the values for TotalLow and TotalHigh as  percentage of Total.

We can use the following expressions.
=String.Format(“{0:p0}”,Sum(Fields!TotalLow.Value)/Sum(Fields!Total.Value))
=String.Format(“{0:p0}”,Sum(Fields!TotalHigh.Value)/Sum(Fields!Total.Value))

You notice the RDL/C allows you to use .NET String object Format method.

Hope this helps.
