C# formatting number

Question

I need one C# formatting string that will handle those cases:

For input of 1234.561 should produce: 1,234.56

For input of 1234 should produce: 1,234

I tried {0:N0}, {0:N2} and {0:#.##}. Doesn't work.

See http://stackoverflow.com/questions/105770/net-string-format-to-add-commas-in-thousands-place-for-a-number. Make sure the input is decimal/float or integer but NOT string! — Dukhabandhu Sahoo, Dec 08 '13 at 06:12
Have seen this thread. Cant find anything that will fit the bill there. — Dennis, Dec 08 '13 at 06:17

Did you try with "{0:F2}"? ~~I don't think you can use the "#" as pattern.~~

UPDATE: I was wrong. The "#" is allowed as custom placeholder.
