Need to enter a positive or negative decimal which does NOT display scientific notation

Question

Hello,

I have a regex for decimals:

[-+]?((\d+(\.\d*)?)|\.\d+)?

This works.  But I want the values to NOT display in scientfic notation.

So, any number from -9999999999.99999999999 to 9999999999999.999999999999999 is valid

But, if user enters .000001 I want it to display as .000001 not as .01E-6 (or whatever the result is)

Any help greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Dan

Hi Lesotho,

Where do you input the number?

Answer 2

Hi Ghost,

Thanks for responding. 

I am entering this into a DevExpress ASPxGridView.  Connecting to a SQL Server database where the data is stored in scientifc notation.  i.e. 2E-07.

So, I'm guessing this is an issue with the devexpress textbox not having correct formatting and nothing to do with the regex, eh?  Sorry, should have thought of that initially.

Thanks,

Dan

Hi Dan,

Yes, I think so.

I suggest you try to ask this issue on asp.net forum: http://forums.asp.net/ 

And I moved this thread to off-topic forum.

Thank you for your understanding and support.

Best regards,
