adding 2 decimal places to Convert.ToString

Question

I am wanting my label to show what the total price of a product is after discount. My label does show the total price after the discount but I can't figure out how to add 2 decimal places to the final price. For example if the total price after a discount is $90 I would like my label to show $90.00. I can only figure out how to display the price without decimals.

lblTotalPrice.Text = "$" + Convert.ToString(totalPrice);

I couldn't find the question from searching. Sorry for creating a duplicate question. — Cory, Mar 01 '17 at 02:47

@Cory note that this answer neither does what you asked ( try `1f.ToString("0.##")`) nor shows correct way to format currency - http://stackoverflow.com/questions/21464496/format-decimal-value-to-currency-with-2-decimal-places – Alexei Levenkov Mar 01 '17 at 02:48
I changed ## to 00 and it worked. – Cory Mar 01 '17 at 02:49
After reading the link you provided I found the correct solution. Thank you Alexei. – Cory Mar 01 '17 at 03:12
The question is about `Convert.ToString()` not `object.ToString()`. – Yousha Aleayoub Dec 11 '19 at 07:16
