How do I club two string formats, or add a character to a string format

I have been trying to display a double with a '%' sign. I cant use "P2" string format due to the fact that we want user to enter percentage that is saved as it is.

Hence we did use .DataFormatString = "{0}%" to display a '%' sign at the end of our data. but this displays data like 1.2300000000%.

Now to truncate trailing zeros we were tempted to use .DataFormatString = "G29" which would effectively remove all unnecessary zeros but now how do we add a "%" sign at the end of string ?

Can we somehow club two string formats to use "G29" with "%" sign ?

I have made various attempts to format this, but none have been on target, might be very simple one that I am missing..

You were on the right track:

string result = string.Format("{0:G29}%", 1.2300000000);
