Formatting A String - Dollar Sign, No Decimals?
Jun 3, 2012I'm having some difficulty formatting some of my strings, I can't see what's wrong unfortunately. I have various numbers, e.g. 100.023, 13488.323, etc in a datagridview column that I would like to be formatted so it looks like this: $123,456
Here's what I've tried so far (that isn't working):
row.Cells(1).Value = Format(row.Cells(1).Value, "{0:D0}") 'I've also tried using {0:C0}
row.Cells(1).Value = row.Cells(1).Value.ToString("$#,#")
'This one (above) comes up with an error saying it can't put an "##" in an Integer column, something like that anyway.
Color Coding A String In Rtf Text Box?
Aug 21, 2009Well I've been working on a web designer and I wanted to be able to color different keywords and strings enclosed in quotes. Now I've been able to color the keywords but every time I try to color a string in quotes it colors the from the beginning of the document to the end of the quoted string. I've tried looking at samples and apply those methods to the code but it still colors all the text in front of the quoted string as well.This is the sub I'm using to color the text.

View 17 RepliesHow To Format Textbox To Display Dollar Sign
Oct 18, 2009I'm trying to get the Subtotal, Sales Tax, and Total to be displayed in currency form, (i.e.: $0.00). The form:
Private Sub CalculateButton_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles CalculateButton.Click
Dim PartsCharges As Decimal
Dim LaborHours As Decimal
[Code] .....
Is there some easy line of code I can do to format it? I know how to do it the .ToString("C") way, but that doesn't work in my case, because they are text boxes and don't have any declared variables for the numbers that are inputted inside of them.
Display The Number With Two Decimal Places And Dollar Signs?
May 7, 2009I need to write a program that uses constants to establish the base pay, the quota, and the commission rate. The Pay menu item calculates and displays the commission and the total pay for that person. However, if there is no commission, do not display the commission amount (do not display a zero-commission amount).Write a function procedure to calculate the commission. The function must compare sales to the quota. when the sales are equal to or greater than the quota, calculate the commission by multiplying sales by the commission rate. Format the dollar amounts to two decimal places; do not display a dollar sign.The summary menu item displays a message box that holds total sales,total commission,and total pay for all salesperson. Display the number with two decimal places and dollar signs. the Clear menu item clears the name, sales, and pay for the current employee and then resets the focus.The Color and Font menu items should change the color and font of the information displayed in the total pay text box.Use a message box to display the program name and your name as programmer for the about option on the Help menu.
[code]...
So the issue is when I push the pay/calculate button everything is calculating correctly the first time, but then when I push clear to input another workers name and weekly sales and push calculate, my label is blank and does not display any info about the second worker. Then when I push summary after inputting the second worker, it's only displaying the total calculations of the first worker. I can't seem to figure out this problem on my own (After countless hours staring at my code I might add!), so I am hoping somebody can pinpoint what I have done wrong? EVerything else is seeming to work just fine.[code]...

Calculating The Sum Amounts Of Multiple Button Controls?
Apr 11, 2009I've been working on a project for a class for the last few days. Here is my current issue, I have created a form where I have multiple buttons representing different t-shirt with different prices. So hypothetically, if the end user were to click on the button that is assigned to red size small there would be an extra $2.00 (on top of the $5 fee of any other t-shirt), I know how to code for the calculation of one item, but I'm not certain how to add say a small red shirt, and a large pink shirt, and have the two items calculate correctly.

View 1 RepliesForms - MaskedTextBox For Varying Currency Amounts
Mar 4, 2009I am working on a VB application in Visual Studio 2005. I have a number of fields where the user needs to enter currency amounts. I am using a MaskedTextBox with the following currency mask. msktxtAssessedVal.Mask = "$ #######.99"
The problem that I am having is that when the users type in the value, the cursor always starts at the leftmost position and appears to force that many digits. The typical data values can vary anywhere between 9,999,999.99 and 20,000.00. If the users do NOT have a value that has 7 digits left of the decimal point, they need to move the cursor to the correct position before they start typing in the value. These users are used to quickly typing in their data, then tabbing to the next field so the current behavior is not acceptable.
Does anyone know if there is a way for the maskedtextbox or any text control to detect where the user types the decimal and format the data accordingly?
How To Display/store Large Amounts Of Text?
Nov 11, 2009What I want to do is display large amounts of text and a few pictures, ideally with hyperlinks between the pages. A lot like wikipedia really, lots of similarly arranged pages, text in categories with in-line hyperlinks and the occasional picture to illustrate a point.But not online, integrated as part of a larger app.
How would it be best to go about doing that? The display method is sortof dictated by the storage method. My thoughts were:
Lots and lots of labels stored in an Access database
Straight HTML as if it were a webpage embedded in an iFrame or something
Labels populated from XML files?
Program the whole lot in Flash or something else (A language I can't speak)
This is only a mockup for demonstration purposes so the priority is user-friendlyness and ease of programming rather than storage concerns or good programming form.

VS 2010 : Working With Large Amounts Of Data Without Getting Out Of Memory?
Apr 25, 2011I recently wrote a program that collects information from the network can displays it in a DGV for the user to see. I tested this on networks where I would end up with several thousand items brought back and all worked fine, very little memory increase and once the search had finished the memory usage went back to pretty much what it was before the search, so I assume I have no major memory leaks that I should be concerned about (I'm careful to always dispose of things and clear large variables where possible).
However, a new company has now started using my application and they have several hundred thousand items that my program will find. They reported that they leave the program running its search for a few hours and most of the time it crashes with an Out Of Memory exception. Now I did have my app do some caching of certain information to avoid querying the network more than was necessary so I thought well maybe this is what is causing it but I added an option to turn that off and they say it still happens. So the only thing I can see it being is simply the amount of data that the program is finding and having to store in memory.once my application has gathered information about the items it stores them in a List(Of MyItemClass) and then when the search is complete the items are added to the DGV. So I'm thinking maybe its just the size of this List(Of MyItemClass) that is simply getting too large. Bear in mind that each instance of MyItemClass in this List can have quite a lot of information in it as it has several properties that are List(Of String) that may contain a few thousand strings in some scenarios.How do you deal with such large amounts of data without running out of memory?I'm assuming the only option I have got is to 'page' some of the data to a temporary file on disk once I get over a certain number of items in the List(Of MyItemClass)?
Instantly Render Large Amounts Of Multi-colored Text?
Dec 18, 2009I need to constantly display large amounts of colored text in WPF or Silverlight, and I need the user to percieve it as showing up instantly.
Currently I'm doing this using a canvas and textblocks, one textblock per 80-character line, with multiple runs to a textblock to handle the different colors. There can often be 20+ runs to a line.
In a 45x80 grid of text, this gets a framerate of about 12 in Silverlight, which is sluggish. Oddly enough, it's even slower in WPF... I can only speculate that this has something to do with my dev machine's lousy video card. Maybe it's trying to hardware accelerate and actually slowing down because of it?
Stack Overflows - Filesystemwatcher Unreliable With Large Amounts Of Processing?
Apr 19, 2010I created a program that watches about 10 folders for different excel files. Using the filesystemwatcher with filters in place and correct error handling, it still misses some files once in a while (that's ok I guess).Anyways, I'm writing this because I added another form that has a filesystem watcher, when I tried to load the form I got a stack overflow error - an error that isn't debugged (a greenish line that you can only stop debugging).Am I going about this a wrong way? Is filesystemwatcher unreliable with large amounts of processing?

Add A Bargraph To Forms Which Will Show A Trend In Dollars Spent For Certain Projects (versus The Forecasted Amounts?
Apr 9, 2009I'm trying to add a bargraph to one of my forms which will show a trend in dollars spent for certain projects (vs. the forecasted amounts). I wanted to know if there is a control or a function in VB.NET 2008 that I can use to build this graph in.... My only other thought is to use pictureboxes as bars (with background filled colors) and adjust their heights based on a ration or height to dollar amt... I don't mind doing this, but I wanted to know if there is a more intelligent way of building this... maybe some graph wizzard like in excel.
