I am using string.format to format my model value inside razor view but it does not gives desired result
@string.Format("{0:00}", Model.Range == null ? "" : Model.Range.ToString())
It should result as 05
if i am using below it gives me result but not from model
@string.Format("{0:00}", 5)
Someone have any idea or same experience ?
If Model.Range is a number type then you need to write:
@string.Format("{0:00}", Model.Range == null ? "" : Model.Range)
because with the Model.Range.ToString() you have converted your Range to string so the number formatting cannot be applied because it is not a number anymore.
By the way string.Format handles null arguments so it is enough to write:
@string.Format("{0:00}", Model.Range)
If Model.Range is not a number but with Model.Range.ToString() you get a number in a string representation then you need to first convert it to a number (like using int.Parse or its other variants) then you can pass the number to string.Format which can now apply the correct formatting.
