Best way to display decimal without trailing zeroes

Do you have a maximum number of decimal places you’ll ever need to display? (Your examples have a max of 5).

If so, I would think that formatting with “0.#####” would do what you want.

    static void Main(string[] args)
    {
        var dList = new decimal[] { 20, 20.00m, 20.5m, 20.5000m, 20.125m, 20.12500m, 0.000m };

        foreach (var d in dList)
            Console.WriteLine(d.ToString("0.#####"));
    }
