Solution 1

Use ToString() overload where you can specify a format. So it will be like -

C#

decimalValue.ToString ("#.##");

Hope this helps!

what should i write in place of #.##?

Don't replace that with anything. Copy it as it is.

'#' means number format....

Solution 2

The solution 1 given by Ankur is good.
I want to add that if you want to force 0 to be displayed when there are no numbers after the decimal point and also to display a comma separator, the following format can be used

C#

TextBox1.Text = Amount.ToString("#,0.00");
//The format will be
//3 ->  3.00
//3.4 ->  3.40
//.5 -> 0.50
//4594.3 -> 4,594.30
