Math.Round does just that - round.

To format the number you may use .ToString(formatString) like so:

item.OtherFields["price"].ToString("0.00")

No overload method for ToString takes 1 argument – niico Jan 31 '18 at 22:25

@niico you're probably calling `ToString` on a nullable type. If so, you'll have to do `youVariable.Value.ToString("0.00")`. Don't forget to null check first though! – PeteGO Feb 01 '18 at 21:25

Use string format function

1. string.Format("{0:n2}", 200000000.8776);
2. string.Format("{0:n3}", 200000000.8776);
3. string.Format("{0:n2}", 0.3);

/* OUTOUT
1. 200,000,000.88
2. 200,000,000.878
3. 0.30
*/
