I need to format decimal numbers (serializing them as a string) that have a different number of digits after the decimal place.

Basically I want to remove all trailing zeros after the decimal point, except always leaving at least 2 digits regardless of their numbers. So:

134.0000120 -> 134.000012
0.01000 -> 0.01
34.0000 -> 34.00
Etc.

What is the best approach to do this?

I hadn't seen this thanks. I'll check if it works with doubles... – CorribView Feb 04 '16 at 20:24
It will, but I would use `"0.00##############"` since a double can have 16 digits of precision. – D Stanley Feb 04 '16 at 20:28
