Why can't I use ToString("#.##") with a @Html.DisplayFor such as:
@Html.DisplayFor(modelItem => modelItem.Balance.ToString("#.##"))

Html.DisplayFor() The DisplayFor()helper method is a strongly typed extension method. It generates a html string for the model object property specified using a lambda expression. DisplayFor() method Signature: MvcHtmlString DisplayFor(<Expression<Func<TModel,TValue>> expression)
Display () The Html.Display () is a loosely typed method which generates a string in razor view for the specified property of model. Visit docs.microsoft.com to know all the overloads of Display () method.

Html.Display and Html.DisplayFor both are used to print string value to the screen. However, you can also use plain HTML tag for displaying text on the screen but Html.Display Extension Method provides more formatting option. Html.Display is loosely typed method whereas Html.DisplayFor is strongly typed method.
when I've encountered this before, I simply added a Getter to the model that the View consumes.
public string FormattedBalance
{
get
{
return this.Balance.ToString("#.##");
}
}
And then just use it in your view:
@Html.DisplayFor(ModelItem => ModelItem.FormattedBalance)
