assuming sDis is a decimal value, you do not need to use Convert.ToString() on it within the string.Format() call.

I would replace what you have with:

lblDiscount.Text = string.Format("{0:C2}", sDis);

or even just

lblDiscount.Text = sDis.ToString("C2");

if sDis is double then

lblDiscount.Text = sDis.ToString("#.##");

From Standard Numeric Format Strings on MSDN:

decimal value = 123.456m;
Console.WriteLine("Your account balance is {0:C2}.", value);
// Displays "Your account balance is $123.46."

I am not sure of the type of sDis, but try using - 

lblDiscount.Text = sDis.ToString("#0.00");

or you can try using - 

lblDiscount.Text = Convert.ToDouble(sDis).ToString("#0.00");
