I have tried just about every format I have found, and I can not seem to get the string digits 0-9 to show up as "00 - 09". Now I do not want numbers 10+ to show up as 010, 011, etc. I also know there are (2) ways to format strings as well:Microsoft.VisualBasic.FormatandString.FormatI have tried all of the following with no[code]...
View 2 RepliesI have a textbox on a form that I use just for output (read only). After doing some calculations I display the value in HEX string as feedback to the user like:
txtReg0.text=HEX(Reg0) 'Reg0 is a UInteger previously calculated
This seems to work fine except the textbox only shows all the HEX characters if the first character isn't a zero. Otherwise, it shows less depending on how many zeros are leading.I WANT to show all (eight in this case) the characters regardless.
I am trying to format a date from a table that I'm getting so that I can concatenate it with another string.But I want the leading zero - I don't want 1/1/2009 - I want 01/01/2009.
I can't seem to find a formatting pattern that does this.
format a decimal value to a string with a single digit after the comma/dot and leading spaces for values less than 100?For example, a decimal value of 12.3456 should be output as " 12.3" with single leading space. 10.011 would be " 10.0". 123.123 is "123.1" I'm looking for a solution, that works with standard/custom string formatting, i.e.
decimal value = 12.345456;
Console.Write("{0:magic}", value); // 'magic' would be a fancy pattern.
How can I get a leading zero on my date.
I pick the date from a calendar and it returns the result #4/2/2009#
I would like #04/02/2009#
I've tried to use the Format commant but it just shows up "dd" as the value

View 2 Repliesi was wondering if there was something i can use in VB which will let me have some fields in the DGV query to automatically have the format of 0.0000? There are some fields in that query which require this format. The Crystal Reports that accesses it gives incorrect info without this format type.
View 6 RepliesConverting an object .tostring() removes the leading zeros. The object is not a fixed length, so I can't do object.tostring("0000000") where the number of zeros represents the fixed length.
An example object value is "0357" when I convert that object .tostring it becomes "357".
Is there a method for keeping the leading zeros where the length is not known?
I need to format an entire column via Visual basic .net for VBA excel spreadsheets. I need to format the column to the following custom size ("00000").

How can I get the leading zeros (if there is eny) removed from the number tha has been extracted?.
I am losing my leading zero in the minutes below. I thought having the "mm" would place two digits for the time.

93 when it should be 0903
When populating the data into a date masked text box for display, I am not getting the zeros in front of the month and day resulting in the date 07/02/1974 displaying as 72/19/74.
How do I insure the month and day have the correct format before the masked tb gets filled. The data type in SQL is small date and displays in the table as 1974-07-02 vS2008 / SQL2008
I am writing out a CSV file in a VB.NET Windows Application. It is a string, like this:99,Company,00666,TBDOn another form, the user can browse to this file and open it.When he does, I use the Microsoft Jet OleDB provider and read this file into a datagridview. It displays the four columns in the grid, but it truncates the two leading zeroes on 00666 and displays 666.I need those leading zeroes. I tried writing out the string like this:99,Company,'00666,TBD(notice the leading single quote before 00666, like you would type in an Excel cell to indicate it was text), but then when the four columns are displayed in the grid, I have the single quote and the two leading zeroes. I don't want the single quote, I just thought I could use it to indicate text.So my question is how can I write out a string of leading zeroes and have them read into the grid preserved?
