Question

I have a dollar amount, 23.15. I want to format it so that I can return just .15 or 15 as I want to place just the cents in an html <sup> tag.

To return dollars only, I used {0:C0} or without the $ sign {0:N0}

Edit: Apparently {0:C0} and {0:N0} will not work for me as they round to a whole number 🙁

If you need string with html tags you can use something like this:

 var decimalValue = 23.15m;
 string value2 = decimalValue.ToString("$ #.<sup>##</sup>"); //$ 23.<sup>15</sup>

Also if you want amount with cents instead of

var value =  String.Format("{0:C0}", decimalValue); // $23

use

 var value =  String.Format("{0:C2}", decimalValue); // $23.15

Zero after ‘C’ in ‘{0:C0}’ format means number of signs after point.
