Formatting guide for NumericTextBox

[Chris]

The custom format optin in NumericTextBox is pretty useful, but I could not see any clear documentation. It links to the dotnet format guide, but also works with #s?

E.g. missing 0s i logged this (and then answered it myself) NumericTextBox with a format field does not display the digit '0' in UI for Blazor | Telerik Forums

"# unit(s)" works, but "there is # unit(s)" does not

Apologies if there is such a documentation and i missed it!

Hi Chris,

The NumericTextBox simply calls Value.ToString(Format, CultureInfo.CurrentCulture). As a result:

• The observed behavior is a direct result of the standard .NET behavior with regard to 0 and #.
• We have linked the .NET documentation at NumericTextBox Parameters, but let us know if you think we need to clarify something better.

ToString("there are #.# units") behavior
<br />
<br />
2.5: @TwoHalf.ToString("there are #.# units")
<br />
2: @Two.ToString("there are #.# units")
<br />
0: @Zero.ToString("there are #.# units")

<br />
<br />
ToString("there are 0.## units") behavior
<br />
<br />
2.5: @TwoHalf.ToString("there are 0.## units")
<br />
2: @Two.ToString("there are 0.## units")
<br />
0: @Zero.ToString("there are 0.## units")

@code {
    int NumValue { get; set; } = 2;

    const decimal TwoHalf = 2.5m;
    const int Two = 2;
    const int Zero = 0;
}
