Currency formatting

Hi,
I have some currency values to be formatted. They are stored as double and when I use String.Format("{0:C2}", strValue); it does NOT yield the right results.

I need all the values to be formatted to decimal places e.g 124 as 124.00 and 123.45 as 123.45 itself. I also want the -values to be surrounded by parenthesis. I knew how to do this in VB but not in C#! Like -123.56 should be (123.56) and -34 should (34.00).

I read some articles but they just dont give me the output what I want above. Ther eis one at:

Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

Note: Using
Double dVal = Double.Parse(strValue).ToString("N");

gives a pretty decent formatted output. How can I use () to show -ve values I would like to show 3 decimal places. Like 123.4567 as 123.457.

Using the "N" formats it to 2 decimal places.

decimal rounded = decimal.Round( Argument, Digits );
