The format '#,##0.00' means: Format the number with two decimal places, 
even if it is an integer. Replace the dot by 
DefaultFormatSettings.DecimalSeparator. If the number is greater than 
1000 (or less than -1000) add a thousand separator, replace the comma by 
the DefaultFormatSettings.ThousandSeparator. The '#' identifies optional 
digits which will be shown only when needed. The '0' identifies digits 
which will be shown even if the corresponding digit would be 0 (i.e. if 
the format string were '0,000.00' then the number 12 would be displayed 
as '0.012,00' if DecimalSeparator is '.' and ThousandSeparator is '.').
