Hi - likely an easy question, but . . .

i successfully round with Math.Round() and get results to 2 decimal places as desired, EXCEPT when the value is accurate to 1 or 0 decimal places, in which case the output is truncated to 1 or 0 decimal places. What i need is to always show 2 decimal places.

Example: If value = 45.233333, the result is 45.33 (perfect)
If value = 45.20 , the result is 45.2 (not good) desired 45.20
If value = 45.00 , the result is 45 (not good) desired 45.00

Suggestions? Thanks!

What you need is a display representation. This is done with formats. Check the MSDN docu on "Custom Numeric Format Strings", this should give you the format string you need for displaying a specific number of decimal places.

Hope this helps.

You could use the following format:

Console.Write("{0:F2}", value);
