How to serialize number to specific format -- dotnet xml

In the code I use for serialization/deserialization is the following:

[XmlElementAttribute(Form=XmlSchemaForm.Unqualified)]
public Decimal valArcBegAngle
{
[return: MarshalAs(UnmanagedType.Currency)]
get {return m_valArcBegAngle;}
[param: MarshalAs(UnmanagedType.Currency)]
set {m_valArcBegAngle = value;}
}
private Decimal m_valArcBegAngle;

What can I do so that, if the value is zero, the output is
<valArcBegAngle>000</valArcBegAngle> instead of
<valArcBegAngle>0</valArcBegAngle>?

Thanks in advance.

use a surrogate.
