Format number with two zeros after comma?

I have a property on my model like this:

[DisplayFormat(DataFormatString = "{0:C2}")]
public decimal TotalPrice { get; set; }

When the TotalPrice is for example 800,00 then the view shows $ 800,00 and if the TotalPrice is 800,01 (or something like that), the view shows $ 800,01 and this is also correct but my client want's that if the TotalPrice contains decimals, then the view must show ,00 instead of the decimals. I can't format the number with [DisplayFormat(DataFormatString = "{0:C0}")] because it will show $ 800 and i don't want that. What's the right formatting for this case?

To make an example:

TotalPrice = 800
//Output: $ 800,00
TotalPrice = 800.23
//Output: $ 800,00
TotalPrice = 800.63
//Output: $ 801,00

[DisplayFormat(DataFormatString = "{0:C2}")]
public decimal TotalPrice { 
    get ()
    {return Math.Round(this.TotalPrice);}
    set;

}

or if you need to be able to get the decimals from totalprice then

[DisplayFormat(DataFormatString = "{0:C2}")]
public decimal TotalPrice { get; set; }

[DisplayFormat(DataFormatString = "{0:C2}")]
public readonly decimal TotalRoundedPrice
{
    get ()
    {return Math.Round(this.TotalPrice);}
}

Make a new string property in your model that outputs the correct value:

public string TotalPriceDisplay
{
    get { return Math.Round(this.TotalPrice).ToString ("F"); }
}
