Is there a better way to parse percentage to double like this?
Dim Buffer As String = "50.00%"
Dim Value As Double = Double.Parse(Buffer.Replace("%",""), NumberStyles.Any, CultureInfo.InvariantCulture) / 100
I'm trying to parse a formatted percentage value back from a datagridviewcell that has been set with the "P" formatter:
double percent = 0.96
cell.value = percent.tostring("p")
gives me a displayed value of 96 % which is what I want.
Now what I'm looking for is something like what is provided for the other formatting strings - NumberStyles.HexNumber, Currency etc so that I can do this
double percent= double.parse( cell.value, NumberStyles.Percent )
which would give me a percent value of .96
I have scoured the .net documentation but can't find any sort of AllowPercent style like the others - is there one?
p.s. I see there is another question here like this and tried to expand on it in that thread, but was deleted by a moderator and told to post a new question.
I have a CSV file where the values are in double quotes and seperated by a comma. I'm getting incorrect data if I try to seperate the string with my Split function. How do I do it?
Example:[code...]
I cannot parse "6.56" to double (6.56). All the methods parse it to 656 insted of 6.56[code]...
View 4 RepliesI have a text reader and I wish to parse the readline string data in double.[code]...
I do not necessarily wish to define the split to interpret double space as separator as I do not know whether this is always the case. I would rather like to tell the program that there are three double format numbers -> go and parse.
I'm trying this in two application; a console application and a web application.
In the console app when I try Double.Parse("0.5") it gives 0.5 or Double.Parse(".5") gives 0.5
But in the web application Double.Parse("0.5") gives 5.0 and Double.Parse(".5") gives exception
Input string was not in a correct format.
how can resolve the issue in web app?
in parsing a string which is delimited by space in to a Double Array
View 1 RepliesI have a DGV with a column bound to a Double. When I enter "1%" I get:
System.FormatException: Input string was not in a correct format.
I then try: MsgBox(System.Double.Parse("1%")) and get essentially the same error. (same for "$")
Is there a setting that will allow "$" & "%" as not only valid Double input but also do the correct adjustment for "%"?
I just want to parse simple expressions like IIF(FVAL(PFC) = TRUE, (IIF((ORGVAL(BAS, "2012/12/31") + ORGVAL(DA)) < 6500, (FVAL(BAS) + FVAL(DA)) * 12%, 780)), 0)`After parsing this I should be able to know what functions contains what parameters.

I'm stuck with .Net Framework 2.0, so no Linq or lambda expression goodies for me. Also I want to include the code in my custom library and not just reference it. Can anyone point me to some good library or code.
I just need to parse and not evaluate the expression and find what tokens are in use. After finding the tokens I need to change the expression string before parsing, like if the function ORGVAL is used then the parameter passed has has to be prefixed by an underscore. Like ORGVAL(BAS) will transform to ORGVAL(_BAS). Some functions can have tow parameters like ORGVAL(BAS, "2012/12/31") and this will transform to ORGVAL(_BAS, "2012/12/31")
NOTE: IF THERE ARE OTHER WAYS OF DOING IT PLEASE LET ME KNOW. I WOULD LOVE TO AVOID A PARSER AND LEXER.
I have a situation where I am handling both single & double mouse click events on a form. In both cases something has to be loaded, however when a double click occurs, I do not wish to execute the code attached to the single click event.Is there a way to intercept the mouse click's and check if double or single and then execute the right event appropriately?
View 2 RepliesI have a htpc project that I am working on. The main program loads dll plugins which are basically other win forms. On each of these forms, including the main program, I use a picturebox (a double buffered picturebox) for the background image and then draw everything on it by hand. Whenever I load the form from the dll and show it, I get a weird flicker. It looks like it is the previously used double buffer. Is there any way to clear the background double buffer before the flicker? Or am I going in the wrong direction?

For greater accuracy I should use a Decimal instead of a Double ( so I've been told ). Why then have Microsoft chosen to use DOUBLE for most of the functions that return a floating point value in the Math Class?

I am trying to get a percentage that just does not seem to work.I am using WMI to get the Total Physical memory of my system and then the Free Physical Memory. Then get the percentage.
2147483648 - Total Memory
838028 - Free memory
According to Task Manager my physical memory is 59%. This is the code I am using but I can not get 59% or 41% that is free.
temp = FM/TM
temp = temp * 100
percent = FM * temp
How can I round a percentage off to the nearest whole number? [code]

I've asked this question before, and so have many before me, i have done extensive research on the topic and stil no help. Maybe this is some kind of secret info. shared only amongst top programmers. Bt how do you really, trully double buffer a form, aside from setting "Double Bufferd" to true, which doesn't work in most cases, I want to know how do companies lyk Microsoft and Symantec, prevent flashes on big applications such Word and Norton.

View 2 RepliesI have a fixed percentage 0.3% I need to multiply this by a number of months which varies 1 to 12
Having done this I need to add the percentage to a pre-determined number
so as an example
£300 + (0.3 * 10)
I can get the 3% (0.3 * 10)
But when I add this to the existing number (£300) it equals £303 not £309 which is what it should equal.
Can anyone advise the way of adding a percentage as appose to just another number? This also need to allow for -percentages i.e. -3%
The equation I am using is below and I appreciate there is nothing to set decTotalPercentage as an actual percentage but that's because I am stumped...
decTotalPercentage = decPercentage * intMonths
decFinalPercentage = decMoney + decTotalPercentage
I have a problem regarding an access file I attached to this post.I have a table which contains the costs(VVGK) for each month in 2008, 2009 and 2010. For each month we have planned costs(Plan) and the real costs (Ist). And what I want to realize is that in the report in the top right it automatically displays the percentage difference between the plan and real costs of the last month. And this should then be automatic every time I give new input(new month, new VVGK Ist).
View 2 RepliesI'm developing a data logging application using VB for the actual logging to a MySQL database. I'm reading a value from a device and then running an insert query every minute. This is great but if the value doesnt change all day then my records are going to all be the same. I'd like to try and calculate the percentage of change on the value and only run the insert query if the percentage of change is greater than, say 5%.
