DataFormatString question

[pvong]

I have a Gridview that I want to format the values so it looks like this.

Currently What I Want
25.6 25.60%
1.2 1.20%
100 100.00%

Basically, I always want two zeros after the decimal.
I know {0:c} does currency and {0:d} does dates. What converts decimals?

According to this site, I'm suppose to use {0:d} which is already taken by
date.

No. If you read the site again carefully, you'll see that what you're
supposed to use is {0:D}, not {0:d}
