How to convert an XML input field for a C# console application to a deciamal value for a fixed length field with leading zeros?

I am writing my first C# console application using Visual Studio 2005. Do you know how I could rewrite the following C# code "IF statement" so that the amount field is displayed as a numeric value with an explicit decimal point?

An example of one of my daily input files is as follows:

Assuming the input amount field has the following dollar value with an implicit decimal and the output should contain leading zeros with an explicit decimal point and has a field length of 10,
how would you revise the following IF statement?

  if (reader.Name == "csc:amount")
                    {
                        //sw.WriteLine("GROUP_FIELD_NAME:CheckAmount");
                        //sw.WriteLine("GROUP_FIELD_VALUE:" + reader.ReadElementContentAsString());

Input field:      <csc:amount>0000000100</csc:amount>

Output fields: GROUP_FIELD_NAME:CheckAmount
                      GROUP_FIELD_VALUE:0000001.00

My program is as follows:

            sw.Close();
            reader.Close();

}

My output file would look like the following:

Here's how you can print it in the way you want.
Arun

string strVal = "000000200";
string newStrVal = strVal.Substring(0, strVal.Length - 2) + "." + strVal.Substring(strVal.Length - 2);
Console.WriteLine(newStrVal);

Where would you place the method GetFormattedValue in the following program?

using System;
using System.Xml;
using System.IO;

            XmlTextReader reader = new XmlTextReader("C:\\rbc.xml");
     
            StreamWriter sw = new StreamWriter("C:\\output.txt");

            while (reader.Read())
             
            {
                if (reader.NodeType == XmlNodeType.Element)
