Response.Write( String.Format(" {0:#,###.##}",0 )); returns empty string

I use the following code to format the numbers to have commas. But in case
when input is zero it returns an empty string....any ideas?

String.Format(" {0:#,###.##}",d blNum);

According to your format, zero is supposed to format to an empty string.

You want something like:

String.Format(" {0:#,##0.00}",d blNum);

depending on whether or not you always want to display 2 digits after
the decimal.
