Answer 1

Try this

    static void Main(string[] args)
    {
        Console.WriteLine(FormatDecimal(1.678M));
        Console.WriteLine(FormatDecimal(1.6M));
        Console.ReadLine();

    }

    private static string FormatDecimal(decimal input)
    {
        return Math.Abs(input - decimal.Parse(string.Format("{0:0.00}", input))) > 0 ?
            input.ToString() :
            string.Format("{0:0.00}", input);
    }
