Formating a floating point number

[=?Utf-8?B?RWl0YW4=?=]

Hello,

I have a float point variable defined as: "float floatVar" with the value of
"12.3". I would like to format it using floatVar.ToString() in such a way
that the output will be 1. right aligned and 2. it will have 4 characters
left of the decimal point and 2 right of the decimal point i.e. “ 12.30�.

Any suggestion how best to do that?

Thanks

A really simple way would be to use something like...

floatVar.ToString("0.00").PadLeft(7)
