  I corrected  using Math.Round

  HourlySalary = Math.Round(Convert.ToDecimal(row["SalaryPerHour"].ToString()),2)

  Thanks

  Hi

  You dont need Math.Round() for what you are trying to do. C# has various numeric formatters. And the one you need is called as Fixed Point format.

  Please go through the documentation here: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/standard/base-types/standard-numeric-format-strings#the-fixed-point-f-format-specifier

  In Short - when you do ToString() use the format "F2" … that will format the number to 2 decimal points.

  Hope this helps.
