I can convert a string with no sign or with negative sign ("-" minus sign) into a double, but I cannot convert a string with positive sybmol/sign ("+" plus sign) into double. Considering the following samples:

I am currently looking into the conversion of a string value to an integer. Obviously I will need to do some validation as to whether the passed value is in fact convertible to an integer.
At the heart of my question is this: the users' local is nl-BE (dutch (Belgium)), which means that we use a comma as decimal sign (and points as thousands separator); e.g. 123.456,78 would be a valid nl-BE number. Now, when using the numeric keypad, the
decimal key will yield a point, not a comma (weird huh!). So many user will enter 123456.12 and when converted to an Int, this should yield 123456.
The thing is that I want to cover all possible angles; both points and commas may be used as decimal sign by the users. So I wondering if anyone has written some code that deals with such a situation. I was thinking of an extension method that makes the
conversion based on whether a point or a comma is last used in the passed string (since no thousands separators should occur after the decimal sign).
Is there an efficient method in VB to check if a string can be converted to a double?I'm currently doing this by trying to convert the string to a double and then seeing if it throws an exception. But this seems to be slowing down my application.
Try
' if number then format it.
current = CDbl(x)

How to convert a string array into double array?
View 5 RepliesI need to take this string:
Dim tmpTry As String = "10, 20, 30, 40, 50, 52, 20, 20, 10, 35, 3, 8, 47, 7, 2, 5, 55, 8, 0, 0, 6, 55, 0, 2, 12, 0, 0, 21, 14, 0, 3"
And convert it to a double array:
Dim arrNumOfVisits As Double() = New Double(tmpTry) {}
How do i go about doing that?
FYI the arrNumOfVisits goes into a ParamArray System.Collections.IEnumerable()

I am trying to convert a string to double and it is giving error. Bye the way it is not giving error on my PC but it gives on some pc's where other clients are using. String is retrieved from xml data.
<data><vitals>

vb code
Dim curBalance As Double
xmlNode = xmlDoc.GetElementsByTagName("vitals")......xmlDoc contains the above xml data
curBalance = System.Convert.ToDouble(xmlNode.Item(0).Item("balance").InnerText)... I think so error is on this line.

View 2 RepliesI'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.
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)

Follow-Up available: There's a follow-up with further details, see Convert MBF to IEEE.
I've got some legacy data which is still in use, reading the binary files is not the problem, the number format is. All floating point numbers are saved in MBF format (Single and Double). I've found a topic about that on the MSDN boards but that one only deals with Single values. I'd also would like to stay away from API-Calls as far as I can.
Edit: Just in case somebody needs it, here is the VB.NET Code (it's Option Strict compliant) I ended up with (feel free to convert it to C# and edit it in):
''' <summary>Converts a MBF Single to an IEEE Single</summary>
''' <param name="src">The MBF Single value</param>

Let just say I have an Integer like 10,000 (that's the VALUE in want to reach). So, I have another integer like 2500 (that's my current VALUE). Third I have another Integer about 350 PER HOUR. To reach 10,000 I need 7,500 (well I already have 2,500). How long must I wait to reach the 10,000 when the increase is about 350 a Hour. Okay, that's easy: 7,500 / 350 = 21,428571 Hours. BUT how can I convert this double to a timespan? Or how is it possible to add this double value to the current Date to get the Date + Time when I reach the Value?
