String.Format for currency on a TextBoxFor

asp.net-mvc-3, c#, string.format

Solution

`string.format("{0:c}", Model.CurrentBalance)` should give you currency formatting.

OR

`@Html.TextBoxFor(model => model.CurrentBalance, new { @class = "required numeric", id = "CurrentBalance", Value=String.Format("{0:C}",Model.CurrentBalance) })`

Problem

I am trying to get `@String.Format("{0:0.00}",Model.CurrentBalance)` into this `@Html.TextBoxFor(model => model.CurrentBalance, new { @class = "required numeric", id = "CurrentBalance" })` I just want the currency to show up as .00 inside of my textbox but am having no luck. Any ideas on how I do this?
