Format decimal to two places or a whole number

Question

For 10 I want 10 and not 10.00 For 10.11 I want 10.11

Is this possible without code? i.e. by specifying a format string alone simlar to {0:N2}

Answer 1

decimal num = 10.11M;  Console.WriteLine( num.ToString( "0.##" ) ); 

Answer 2

It seems to me that the decimal precision is intrinsic to the decimal type, which defaults to 4 decimal places. If I use the following code:

decimal value = 8.3475M; Console.WriteLine(value); decimal newValue = decimal.Round(value, 2); Console.WriteLine(newValue); 

The output is:

8.3475 8.35
