How do I display a decimal value to 2 decimal places?

Question

When displaying the value of a decimal currently with `.ToString()`, it's accurate to like 15 decimal places, and since I'm using it to represent dollars and cents, I only want the output to be 2 decimal places. Do I use a variation of `.ToString()` for this?

Accepted Answer

```
decimalVar.ToString("#.##"); // returns ".5" when decimalVar == 0.5m
```

or

```
decimalVar.ToString("0.##"); // returns "0.5"  when decimalVar == 0.5m
```

or

```
decimalVar.ToString("0.00"); // returns "0.50"  when decimalVar == 0.5m
```
