I want to output a number, say 20, as 20.00
i.e. I want to always have 2 decimal places
I don't want any currency information, therefore String.Format("{0:c}")
doesn't work for me.
Can't seem to find a way to do this. Any ideas?
Thanks,
Peter

Stimp,
Use the format 'f'
Example:
int myInt = 24;
Console.WriteLine("My Int : {0:f}", myInt);
Should output:
My Int : 24.00
Hope that helps, Basil

There are many ways to string.Format:
string.Format("{0:###,###,###,##0.00;-#,###,###,##0.00;0.00}", YourValue);

That actually doesn't work for what I needed though. I had tried it.
#.## only outputs 20 instead of "20.00" or 20.1 instead of "20.10" etc.
{0:f} is the best way to go.

..ToString("#.00") ??
(Note the dot, which maight be culture depending)

it's not #.## but #0.00, through.
# is a optional digits placeholder(i.e.: has output only when it's a
significant digit), while 0 is arbitary (i.e.: it has output regardless of
whether it's significant or not.)
P.S.: the above paragraph requires you to treat 20 as ...0000020.0000...
where the empty place is in fact filled with 0.
