Here is my code:

double somename = 1.50;
label.Contnet = somename;

My label shows its as 1.5. The zero isn't displayed. How can I avoid this?

You have 2 options:

Convert somename to a string first and make sure to format it (string.Format) with 2 decimal places.
Bind the label content to the somename value and use StringFormat in the binding expression to format it with 2 decimal places.

label.Content = somename.ToString("0.00");

I think "d2" would do the same thing, but my memory is a little fuzzy on standard format strings.
