Conversion To Integer, Decimal, Double
Jun 9, 2011
So, yes, I've tried with these three formats, and the problem remains the same:I have a string, "s"For Each s As String In stringarray and this array is recieving data from a streamreader that is reading a csv file. The data I'm having dificulty reading are these very specific numbers(yes, only these numbers, because phone numbers get home safe and sound).The numbers I'm talking about are usually decimal.ValueList.Add(Convert.ToDecimal(s))
Now, when I convert them like that, they always bring a "D" alongside with them. I've personally checked the string multiple times, and it just has a "1", and somehow, my list recieves "1D" as a number, same thing happens with decimal numbers(0.29D for example). I've tried with Doubles and Integers, the result is the same.

I am writing a program that asks the user for their name and the number of pieces they completed. The employees are paid more depending on the amount of pieces they have completed(i.e. <200 = .50 per piece, 200 to 399 = .55 per piece, etc.). I have to display the amount earned when the user enters the info and hits the calculate button. I have to use Select Case.
I was thinking this would be an easy program but I keep getting an error for each Case saying "Option Strict On disallows implicit conversions from 'Double' to 'Decimal'. I don't understand why it thinks it is a double. It says I can correct this problem by adding "Cdec" before each equation(i.e.

I'm quite a newbie in VB.NET (and VB on the whole). So my question could sound rather odd, but still. I've stumbled upon an issue with the CInt and converting a double to an integer.
The issue is the following: CInt(10.5) would be 10
CInt(10.51) would be 11, but I expected 10... (Got used to C# style conversion: (int)10.51 would be 10)
As pointed out here Integer.Parse VS. CInt the result is just rounded in some fashion. Nowever, all I need is to get only integer part and throw away the fractional one. How can I achieve such type of conversion in VB.NET? After a short research I assume that I can use Fix() funciton to do the trick, but is it the best choice ever?

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?

a user will enter a number, n, which ranges from 1 to 30. they will also enter a "P" or an "S" (sum or product). depending on which was selected, it will calculate the sum or product of the numbers from 1 to n.i'm having a conversion error on line 5 stating "Conversion from string "S" to type 'Double' is not valid."

If I have the code:Dim x as Decimal = 100.0m
Is it casting from a double to a decimal implicitly. How would I do this explicitly in vb.net?

I'm trying to create a linked list of an array of integers. Why is the following implicit conversion required?
When I run the code that contains that conversion, I get the following error.
As a real-time data acquisition user control data (a packet of an array of bytes) arrives every second, is converted into an integer array and inserted into a linked list.
The most recently arrived data is painted as coordinates on a grid at the right of a PictureBox using Graphics.DrawLine (pen,X1,Y1,X2,Y2).
The oldest data (arriving 120 seconds ago) will be drawn at the leftmost portion of the Picturebox.
Why a linked list rather than a list? To display 120 views of time sequence data, the draw routine the most recently inserted node to a node that points to Nothing. How do I limit the length of the linked list to 120 nodes and always ensure that the last node points to Nothing?

I've been just making random programs trying to get the hang of the new language this time I was making a leap frog game where it switches back and forth beetween frogs every time a button is pressed. It also checks if the frog can land in the text box above the button pressed, if there is another frog there a message box will pop up saying sorry space is filled other wise the frog should land there.
[code]...
The error message says "Conversion from string "frog1" to type 'Double' is not valid." I understand what a double is but I've tried And If and that causes a bunch of errors.My Question is whats wrong with this cod and how can I make a double if statement???PS I did try to make an array to shorten this but thats in a different fourm will post URL later

Let's say I want to convert a Double x to a Decimal y. There's a lot of ways to do that:
1. var y = Convert.ToDecimal(x); // Dim y = Convert.ToDecimal(x)
2. var y = new Decimal(x); // Dim y = new Decimal(x)
3. var y = (decimal)x; // Dim y = CType(x, Decimal)
4. -- no C# equivalent -- // Dim y = CDec(x)
Functionally, all of the above do the same thing (as far as I can tell). Other than personal taste and style, is there a particular reason to choose one option over the other?
EDIT: This is the IL generated by compiling the three C# options in a Release configuration:
1. call valuetype [mscorlib]System.Decimal [mscorlib]System.Convert::ToDecimal(float64)
--> which calls System.Decimal::op_Explicit(float64)

I am working on an application that allow the user to store data as numbers.These numbers are later on used for calculation. The number can be of any type and are saved as string. The problem is when they are used for calculation how can understand when it is better to treat them as doubles and when as decimals?

How come a double and decimal treat 3 and 3.0 and 3.00 different?
For example:
Dim dbl As Double = 1 / CInt(TextBox1.Text)
MsgBox(dbl)
If I enter 3 in the TextBox I get: 0.33...
If I enter 3.0 I get: 0.033...
If I enter 3.00 I get: 0.0033...
How do I treat them all as 3?

I write a program to convert Decimal numbers to Binary numbers. It is working well. But I want to control the bits. i.e - We can write 31 as a) 11111 or b) 011111. When I run my program it displays 11111. I want to take input bit from a text box and display it like 0011111 or 011111 or what ever bit I input. How can I do that ?
Private Sub DecToBin()
Dim i As Integer = txtDec.Text
Dim binary As String = Convert.ToString(i, 2)
txtBin.Text = binary
End Sub

I'm writing a small program that will convert a negative number (e.g. -200) to a hexadecimal number (e.g. FF38). And back to a decimal number. FF38 back to -200. (I can only use two bytes when converting back and forth.)
Question: is there a function in VB that will help?

here is a very important matter to be corrected as soon as possible. generally,type double can display an answer correct to more than 20 decimal places. yes,it works fine until here except for exponential system. whenever i try to find a decimal raised to the power of a proper fraction, i get a correct answer but only upto 13 decimal places. that is not fair at all! it is important to get as high precision as possible. consider this example:-

I'm struggling to solve this problem and am throwing it out to y'all...
For example, if I had a value of 6.5, (representing 6.5 feet), I'd want to separate that value into two values:
6 - 12" sections
1 - 6" section.
This initial value could be any number from 3-16, in .5 increments. (3, 3.5, 4, 4.5, 5, 5.5, etc.)

I have a piece of code:

Dim Longitude As Double = row("fltLongitude")
Most of the lat/longs that are being fetched from the db using SP are retrieved in properly, except for a couple of records which do not include a period to indicate a lat/long value.I have tried using these:
Convert.ToDecimal(Latitude)
CDec(Latitude)
decimal.Parse(Latitude)
but none of them are working.

Currently using VS2008, VB.NET, SQL.
I have a FormView from a Data Source that is getting some fields that are stored as Decimals in the SQL Database.
I am grabbing the field from the FormView as such:
Dim AvgTicketL As Label = CType(frmMerchantProfile.FindControl("F10Label"), Label)
I need to take this value, and convert it to an Integer, then send it along to an API. I have the API Calls done, tested and working, but I'm getting an error as when it is getting this value, the API is returning "Must be an Integer" error.
What I have tried so far:
Dim AvgTicketL As Label = CType(frmMerchantProfile.FindControl("F10Label"), Label)
Dim AvgTicket1 As Integer
AvgTicket1 = Double.Parse(AvgTicket.Text)
Do something with AvgTicket1
I have also attempted to Round the Value, then convert it and call it - no luck.
Checking the value of AvgTicket1 (Writing it out to a Label or Response.Write) shows "100", where the database value was 100.00. But the API is still getting 100.00, apparently. Any other conversion method that I've attempted states errors that the Label cannot be converted to Integer.
What are some methods I can successfully convert this value to an integer from a label?

I would like to cast a double to an integer, but rather than keep the numerical value the same I want to keep the bit pattern the same (this is for a compression algorithm), is this already possible in VB.net, or would I need to try and come up with my own method for doing this?
