Answer 3

Please check out this similar answer:

Leave only two decimal places after the dot

Check out what each of these return :

String.Format("{0:0.00}", 123.4567); // "123.46"

String.Format("{0:0.00}", 123.4567);      // "123.46"
String.Format("{0:0.00}", 123.4);         // "123.40"
String.Format("{0:0.00}", 123.0);         // "123.00"

Answer 4

You should use String.Format("{0:.##}", rec.Rate).

From MSDN:

0 - Replaces the zero with the corresponding digit if one is present; otherwise, zero appears in the result string.

#-Replaces the "#" symbol with the corresponding digit if one is present; otherwise, no digit appears in the result string.
