Solution 1

Not too clear if you are talking of web or winforms.

For either case, I would go for a masked textbox, samples:
Web:
Enhanced Textbox Control[^]

Winforms:
Masked C# TextBox Control[^]
MSDN: Walkthrough: Working with the MaskedTextBox Control[^]

Solution 2

Here, from the Micrrosoft documentation:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/0c899ak8.aspx[^]

Look perticulat at this example:

C#

value = 1234.567890;
Console.WriteLine(value.ToString("0,0.00", CultureInfo.InvariantCulture));
// Displays 1,234.57
