I know its an old question but please note for the following differences between Math round and String format round   decimal d1    decimal 1 125  Math Round d1  2  Dump         returns 1 12 d1 ToString         Dump       returns  1 13   decimal d2    decimal 1 1251  Math Round d2  2  Dump         returns 1 13 d2 ToString         Dump       returns  1 13

Personally I never round anything  Keep it as resolute as possible  since rounding is a bit of a red herring in CS anyway  But you do want to format data for your users  and to that end  I find that string Format   0 0 00    number  is a good approach

If you want to round a number  you can obtain different results depending on  how you use the Math Round   function  if for a round-up or round-down   you re working with doubles and or floats numbers  and you apply the midpoint rounding  Especially  when using with operations inside of it or the variable to round comes from an operation  Let s say  you want to multiply these two numbers  0 75   0 95   0 7125  Right  Not in C   Let s see what happens if you want to round to the 3rd decimal   double result   0 75d   0 95d     result   0 71249999999999991 double result   0 75f   0 95f     result   0 71249997615814209  result   Math Round result  3  MidpointRounding ToEven      result   0 712  Ok result   Math Round result  3  MidpointRounding AwayFromZero      result   0 712  Should be 0 713   As you see  the first Round   is correct if you want to round down the midpoint  But the second Round   it s wrong if you want to round up   This applies to negative numbers   double result   -0 75   0 95     result   -0 71249999999999991 result   Math Round result  3  MidpointRounding ToEven      result   -0 712  Ok result   Math Round result  3  MidpointRounding AwayFromZero      result   -0 712  Should be -0 713   So  IMHO  you should create your own wrap function for Math Round   that fit your requirements  I created a function in which  the parameter  roundUp true  means to round to next greater number  That is  0 7125 rounds to 0 713 and -0 7125 rounds to -0 712  because -0 712   -0 713   This is the function I created and works for any number of decimals   double Redondea double value  int precision  bool roundUp   true        if   decimal value    0 0m          return 0 0       double corrector   1   Math Pow 10  precision   2        if   decimal value  lt  0 0m                if  roundUp              return Math Round value  precision  MidpointRounding ToEven           else             return Math Round value - corrector  precision  MidpointRounding AwayFromZero             else               if  roundUp              return Math Round value   corrector  precision  MidpointRounding AwayFromZero           else             return Math Round value  precision  MidpointRounding ToEven             The variable   corrector  is for fixing the inaccuracy of operating with floating or double numbers

Had a weird situation where I had a decimal variable  when serializing 55 50 it always sets default value mathematically as 55 5  But whereas  our client system is seriously expecting 55 50 for some reason and they definitely expected decimal  Thats when I had write the below helper  which always converts any decimal value padded to 2 digits with zeros instead of sending a string   public static class DecimalExtensions       public static decimal WithTwoDecimalPoints this decimal val                return decimal Parse val ToString  0 00               Usage should be  var sampleDecimalValueV1   2 5m  Console WriteLine sampleDecimalValueV1 WithTwoDecimalPoints      decimal sampleDecimalValueV1   2  Console WriteLine sampleDecimalValueV1 WithTwoDecimalPoints       Output   2 50 2 00
