Conversion of long to decimal in c#

I have a value stored in a variable which is of type "long".

long fileSizeInBytes = FileUploadControl.FileContent.Length;
Decimal fileSizeInMB = Convert.ToDecimal(fileSizeInBytes / (1024 * 1024));

I want to convert the fileSizeInBytes to decimal number rounded up to 2开发者_高级运维 decimal places (like these: 1.74, 2.45, 3.51) But i'm not able to get the required result. I'm only getting single digit with no decimal places as result. Can some one help me with that ??.

Thanks in anticipation

Decimal fileSizeInMB = Convert.ToDecimal(fileSize) / (1024.0m * 1024.0m);

What you're doing is dividing the filesize by an integer, which results in an integer, not a decimal. Any remainder left over will be chopped off.

I don't see fileSize declared anywhere - but Im going to assume it's a long. So fileSize / (1024 * 1024) is forced up to a long value which doesn't hold any decimal places so you get something like:

Convert.ToDecimal(someLongValue)

Which won't have any decimal places. Convert the division to a double (or some other decimal) first before passing it to Convert.ToDecimal

Maybe a little late but here you have more or less everything you need for filesizes watts etc

here is a function i use to display file size

        {
            double tmp = number;
            string suffix = " B ";
            if (tmp > 1024) { tmp = tmp / 1024; suffix = " KB"; }
            if (tmp > 1024) { tmp = tmp / 1024; suffix = " MB"; }

            return tmp.ToString("n") + suffix;
        }
