String Formatting; Tailing Zero's

I have a number, for example 17.7 and I want to format to a string as
"17.70", with the tailing zero.

Using Math.Round( dValue, 2 ) - produces "17.7".

Any other functions which will do what I want, before I start writing
formatting code?

Thanks

dValue.ToString("f2")
