Response.Write(String.Format("{0:#,###.##}",0)); returns empty string

I use the following code to format the numbers to have commas. But in case
when input is zero it returns an empty string....any ideas?

String.Format("{0:#,###.##}",dblNum);

According to your format, zero is supposed to format to an empty string.

You want something like:

String.Format("{0:#,##0.00}",dblNum);

depending on whether or not you always want to display 2 digits after
the decimal.
