I want to know how to convert a percentage rate such as 4.5% into a decimal number in your code editor in V 2008.For example, the user input is 4.5%. Is there any function available to convert is to 0.045?
I'm trying to convert a percentage from my combobox selection to a decimal the combobox has the percentage sign in the selection. I've been reading around a bit but I'm not following on how to do it.
I need to convert the percentage to a decimal so that when I click calculate it can take the price and the discount and calculate what the discount will be.
im having trouble understanding this question for a homework assignment. I need to write the PSEUDOCODE for the following scenario, but i got no idea about how to convert a hexadecimal number to a decimal number..You are required to input a two digit hexadecimal number eg. 3f (digits can be entered separately) and calculate the equivalent decimal number. (note the decimal number will be between 0 and 255) . output the decimal number
How to convert a whole number into decimal..For example 70 to .70 because there are some price in my system that needed to be calculated by grams for example $5 per grams... I am saving the price in my database as an integer..
I'm reading a text file that has a single line with the number 70. I want to convert this to a number (decimal or Integer). The following returns 7 - what am I doing wrong? [code...]
Im trying to make a Basic Program with a Progress Bar. Showing Visual Representation of a Percentage. I would like the Percentage to be shown as a decimal value as well. [Code] But since i do not know how to show decimal places i can not get this to create the correct value thus having a pointless progress bar and label. [Code]
As the title of the question, I need to validate regex using the following values: (Maximum 2 decimal places, and 9 integers) with an optional percent symbol.
Valid: 10% 0% 1111111.12% 15.2% 10 2.3
Invalid: .% 12.% .02% % 123456789123.123
I tried: ^[0-9]{0,9}([.][0-9]{0,2})d[\%]{0,1}?$ But It does not work as I want.
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.
I 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...
I have data coming in to my serial port, which is just a 6 digit number. textbox1.text = serialport1.readline() In the textbox_text_changed sub. I need to do something with this number, but only if it has changed by more than 2%. I need the 2% as the number coming in is fluctuating a little bit so I don't want anything triggered if it's less than 2%.
I have some customized string formats of double values. I need to convert these strings to double values at some point (Note that these strings may contain error messages other than numbers). So I first check if these strings are numbers, and if yes, then convert them to double. Isnumeric works for my first customized string format. But I found that is numeric cannot recognize percentage strings. I wonder why isnumeric understands () but cannot understand %. And what is the better way to convert "(100.00)" and "50%" to doubles other than Cdbl?
I am calling the function below from an Excel spreadsheet and the conversion from hex to decimal using the VAL function in the "manufacturer" variable below is coming back with a negative value. The VBA edition is 6.5.
Public Function decMEID(ByVal sKey As String) As String Dim manufacturer As String Dim serial As String
I am trying to convert information stored in a file to a decimal (or ASCII) format, then write the contents of that file to a new file.
What I have is a list of files that are generated from a cash register. The documentation that was provided to me says that this particular file I am trying to work with has a length of 6, a width of 6, and that it's BCD type.
I've done quite a few google searches and can't seem to find a good solution. I know BCD numbers should be stored as 0000 format. But the problem I'm getting is when I read each part of the file (using my sr.read) I'm getting full numbers..and I am expecting the 0000 format. I'll get a 0, 0, 0, and then all of the sudden I"ll get a number that's 65,000..then I'll get a 34...and there doesn't seem to be any
I'm sure I'm doing something incorrect here, my knowledge of reading HEX, BCD, etc. is very minimal. I'm guessing it has to do with using a filestream, so I can use the fs.ReadByte() method..but when I tried that my program was literally chugging along for several minutes with no sign of ending.[code]...
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)
Very simple, I click a button and it shows the answer in the label. The answer to this is: 00:02:38 (according to excel)
But I want my Vb.net to change the decimals into the time as excel would do so. The answer vb gives me is: 0.001833786. So how can I change a decimal into a time?
I need to convert hex to a decimal in VB.NET. Found several examples in C#, but when I tried to convert to VB.NET I was not successful. An example of a hexadecimal number that I am trying to convert is"A14152464C203230304232323020572F544947455234352E".
The code below works until I try to convert the text box to a decimal. I think it might be because at the time of conversion the text box is empty. If thats the case, where could I do the conversion?[code]...
