You can use the decimal.ToString override to specify a formatting.
decimal amount = 120.00m;
string str = amount.ToString("0.00");
This can also be used when using String.Format.
Console.WriteLine("{0:0.00}", amount);
In the case of your first rule, it cannot be done on one line.
decimal amount = 120.00m;
string str = amount.ToString("0.00").Replace(".00", String.Empty);

@user1046047 check out my answer. I specify the overloads that you can pick

I get
cannot convert from double to string when I try to use decimal amount = 120.60m; string str = amount.ToString("0.00"); Found out I needed to use amount.ToString("F6");. In my case I needed 6 placevalues, but I don't think it was the number of decimal points that was the problem because it complained if I did string str = amount.ToString("0.00"); or string str = amount.ToString("0.000000"); I was using a numeric database field, which was stored using a decimal object. Ran across this stackoverflow.com/questions/533931/convert-double-to-string - which helped me.There are different overloads for decimal.ToString based on what formatting you want.
Example
decimal d = 5.00
Console.WriteLine(d.ToString("C")); // for currency
See below for other overloads... specifier is what you put into the ToString(specifier)
MSDN Documentation on Decimal.ToString
decimal value = 16325.62m; string specifier;
// Use standard numeric format specifiers.
specifier = "G";
Console.WriteLine("{0}: {1}", specifier, value.ToString(specifier));
// Displays: G: 16325.62
specifier = "C";
Console.WriteLine("{0}: {1}", specifier, value.ToString(specifier));
// Displays: C: $16,325.62
specifier = "E04";
Console.WriteLine("{0}: {1}", specifier, value.ToString(specifier));
// Displays: E04: 1.6326E+004
specifier = "F";
Console.WriteLine("{0}: {1}", specifier, value.ToString(specifier));
// Displays: F: 16325.62
specifier = "N";
Console.WriteLine("{0}: {1}", specifier, value.ToString(specifier));
// Displays: N: 16,325.62
specifier = "P";
Console.WriteLine("{0}: {1}", specifier, (value/10000).ToString(specifier));
// Displays: P: 163.26 %
// Use custom numeric format specifiers.
specifier = "0,0.000";
Console.WriteLine("{0}: {1}", specifier, value.ToString(specifier));
// Displays: 0,0.000: 16,325.620
specifier = "#,#.00#;(#,#.00#)";
Console.WriteLine("{0}: {1}", specifier, (value*-1).ToString(specifier));
// Displays: #,#.00#;(#,#.00#): (16,325.62)

Ex.
d.ToString("F6"); will give 5.000000 - which is what helped me to write out a decimal from a numeric field in the database to string. d.ToString("0.00"); gave me cannot convert from double to string stackoverflow.com/questions/533931/convert-double-to-stringYou can use decimal.Tostring() method
pls go through this link for more info

this has weird behavior though. It prints
5.00 as just 5, which is undesirable in currency displayUse, decimal.ToString() method. You can specify format with that method if you need:
decimal d = 120.00;
string ds = d.ToString("#,#.00#");
// ds is a formated string of d's value
