I'm receiving an number from a length task that has 14x decimal places.

Is there any way to limit this output to just 2x decimal places?

  Hi Walter

  you could use String.Format in an Alert Activity   http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.string.format(v=vs.110).aspx

  ie   String.Format("{0:#.##}",double1)

  where double1 is the number variable your are having trouble with 

  or Math.Round Method (Decimal, Int32)  http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/zy06z30k(v=vs.110).aspx

  depending whether you want a string or a number

  Ralph,

  When I used your suggested string.Format("{0:#.##}",listofLengths) for my varaible called "listofLengths" which is a List<Double>,

  /customer/servlet/servlet.FileDownload?file=00P6000000em16EEAQ

  the result above is what I get. If I just use the listOfLengths().ToString I get values such as

  35.381011345555

  Not having any luck with formatting this List<Double> variable
