C# Format currency where "1" = £0.01

Hi everybody,

First post but i really need some help with this as its driving me mad.
I need to format a number to be a currency and when i saw that this was supported already by the string.format function i got very excited.
However, if i do:

int number = 1;

formattedstring= String.Format("{0:C}", number);

I get £1.00.

How can i get it to give me £0.01 i.e. handle 1 as being one pence and not one pound (or cents/dollars repsectively)?

I am sure there is a format defintion for this or another way to do it but i am a bit stuck finding it. I can think of other more time consuming ways to do it but i am sure there must be a way to get this to work with the .format function.

Thanks for any help.
Nick Langridge.
