I suspect this is due to culture info only. In your local culture is SA but your is at UK then it will give different result. But here you are using invariant culture so it should work fine.

Solution 1

Yes, it is due to culture info only. You can use

C#

string.Format("{0:00}",conversation);

that convert your decimal value to point 2 place decimal value.
