    Please use System.String.Format( "{0:#.00}", System.Convert.ToDecimal(
    value ) ) to format the number of digits.

    {0 = the parameter index. We only have 1 parameter so this will always be 0.
    # = the value, it does not matter how many digits.
    0 = represents a digit.

    Example:

    //double value = 1.2344567;
    double value = 111.2;

    String s_value = System.String.Format( "{0:#.00}",
    System.Convert.ToDecimal( value ) );

    System.Console.WriteLine( "The value is: " + s_value );

    output:
    The value is: 111.20

    Eg
    String s_value = System.String.Format( "{0:#.000}",
    System.Convert.ToDecimal( value ) );

    Will give:
    The value is: 111.200
