Cannot Convert Swedish String To Currency Properly
Jun 28, 2011
I am trying to convert "-10,00" from a string into a currency using the Swedish culture. Here is my code:
ByVal ci As System.Globalization.CultureInfo("sv-SE")
Convert.ToDecimal("-10,00").ToString("C", ci)
The output from the above code is: -1.000,00 kr, which is wrong. It should be -10,00 kr. Is there anything wrong with my approach?
The solution is to pass the cultureInfo into the ToDecimal function as a second parameter.
ByVal ci As System.Globalization.CultureInfo("sv-SE")
Convert.ToDecimal("-10,00", ci).ToString("C", ci)
i have a list with dollar amounts that are strings. there are 8 separate dollar amount fields. amt1, amt2, amt3, amt4, amt5, amt6, amt7, amt8. i want to find out which amount is the largest. how would i convert each string amount to currency? i was thinking something like this:
Decimal.Parse(row("AMT1")) the string is in this format: $1,000.00
will convert a string containing a decimal value to a nicely formatted currency value. Is there anyway to do this without first converting the string value to a decimal?
I am trying to create a currency converter that will convert currency. I have a text box to enter the amount and 2 combo boxes to choose which currency you are converting from and to.
I am using a webservice site XML that contains the conversions.
The problem is I cannot get the display to work properly.
I have a field that I display via: String.Format({0:c},amount) This produces the string "$28.28" However, when I try to convert back to a decimal amount, I get an incorrect format exception: amount = Decimal.Parse(amount.Text, NumberStyles.Currency) I also tried it with NumberStyles.AllowCurrencySymbol with the same results. I verified that the value in amount.Text is "$28.28". Am I missing something? Shouldn't these two operations use the same currency symbol and formats?
Need to get this done: To have just ONE cell that is defined in a dropdown list with several (various) countries� currencies, and each time when I choose a currency on this dropdown, EVERY cell in my worksheet which has a figure formatted with CURRENCY will automatically turn into that currency selected only in that dropdown cell. I have imagined whether if there was a solution, that the monetary cells do not necessarily have to be first in CURRENCY format, or do they have to? Anyway, I do nt know how to accomplish this, Without the solution, I have still at this time just set all the cells with monetary amounts in simple NUMBER format, ie. no CURRENCY SYMBOL at all, till I find a solution ..
I'm going to make a program that translates text from Swedish to English..
I got 2 textfiles "svenskaengelskaA.txt" and "engelskasvenskaA.txt"
Inside the program I got 2 textboxes and 1 button, If I write like "�pple" in TextBox1 I want it to write out "Apple" in TextBox2 when I press the button "Translate"..
But for the translate button to work it needs to read the 2 files..
So I made this neat little clock program in smallbasic and i downloaded visual studio 2008/visual basic 2010 yada yada.I clicked on graduate, made a folder under my documents to dump the stuff, finished installing, and then opened the project in VB.The SmallBasicLibrary couldn't be found
Such components as the GraphicsWindow wasn't converted to VB or something (probably because the library wasn't found).I followed Microsoft's instructions but I don't know what happened.
I need to give comma(,) for every thousends. So I used DataFormatString="${0:#,#}". It is working fine. But when value is 0. It is showing $00. I just want to show only $0.
I am practicing for my next semester, trying to get ahead in VB.Net, so I got a library book and I am attempting the book exercises, in this exercise I need to replace the currency format to the To.String format, but everythiing I try doesnt work, and everything I read online just confuses me more, can anyone shed light on why my code is not outputting my discount amount and my total amount?
Dim subtotal As Decimal = Decimal.Parse(txtSubtotal.Text) Dim discountPercent As Decimal = 0.25D Dim discountAmount As Decimal = Math.Round(subtotal * discountPercent, 2) Dim invoiceTotal As Decimal = Math.Round(subtotal - discountAmount, 2)
I've searched for the solution for this however 'answers'i've found have perhaps been a little more than I've needed. basically i have 2 textboxes on my form, 'textbox1' is populated by a value from a database, say.. 200.00 on form load. 'textbox2' needs to accept a users value (say 50.00) and then add/subtract that from the value in 'textbox1' when the form's refreshed/submitted/whatever
whats the syntax involved in this process, i've seen efforts involving parse, 'Cint' etc but need to check there isn't some ridiculously easy way of doing this..
I originally wrote this with Option Strict Off but I'm wanting to rewrite my application with Strict set to On. The error I get with Strict set to on is: "Option Strict On disallows implicit conversions from 'Object' to 'System.Delegate'."

I'm creating an open-source web browser in VB.NET Express 2008 and I've created a User Setting named History to save a collection of strings for the browsing history. However, when I try to load the history form at runtime, only the first item (of the three I added) shows up in the listbox. Below are both examples of code I have tried to use to accomplish this task.
Private Sub Form1_Load(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load ListBox1.DataSource = My.Settings.History
I have a script that attempts to load XML text from a URL and I am having difficulty figuring out how to check to see if it is valid, normalized XML. I don't have a schema as there are several variables which could change the XML format, I just want to check to make sure all of the opening tags are closed properly so I can verify that the entire string loaded properly.
Here is what I have right now. Dim objResponse As HttpWebResponse Dim objRequest As HttpWebRequest Dim strXml As String Dim newMembers As New DataSet Dim xmlReader As StringReader [Code] .....
I would like to add something here to validate strXML ' create a dataset from the XML file pulled down from the remote server newMembers = New DataSet() xmlReader = New System.IO.StringReader(strXml) newMembers.ReadXml(xmlReader)
I am looking for a code snippet which opens a image, creates a clone of this bitmap in memory disposes this opened image so that all handles are closed.
Usually we can open a bitmap using this[code...]
the following code however keeps the Image File locked until the application is running, any suggestions how to dispose it properly. (So that no handle is left open )
Things i already tried: use dispose method of bitmap <= doesnt work (need to write implementation) Using Block also doesnt work.
As the title says I have a form with many databound textboxes. some of these boxes have data in them and some are empty. I need to add them altogether, so far all of the conversion methods I have tried err out when they run into an empty string, except Val, but then Val won't handle the string with a $ in it. I've tried decimal.parse which handles the $ but not the empty string. So I seem to be in circle that I can't get out of.
I'd like to convert a string which contains a decimal number into string that contains the binary value, the octal and the hexadecimal value of that decimal number.Afterwards I also like to convert a string containing a binary, octal and hexd. number into a decimal string.Basically I'm looking for the functions:
dec2bin dec2oct dec2hex bin2dec oct2dec hex2dec
I'd not prefer to rewrite a function, I'm sure the framework must have these functions already.
Is there any way to convert null terminated string to normal string.I mean I can easily make a program to find the location of vbnull but there has to be a built in function for that.
how can i convert these datatypes: date to string and integer to string.Because it must be in a string datatype when I display it in a datetimepicker and textbox.
