View 2 RepliesI 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 textbox that is filled by the method [code]...

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?
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 need to convert numeric string to date in format dd.MM.yyyy :(
View 2 RepliesI am reading a data file and storing them in an array of string.Data is random, could be like "1","2","133,18" but sometimes there can be missing values like "?".Once I load the data in the array, I want to check if at least a majority (like 60% of them) are numeric values.If yes, then I wanna track down the higher and lowest value in the array, and output a range of 5.Loop through the array
If 60% of them are numbers (integers or decimals) then find highest value, find lowest value end if produce range
If for example lowest = 1 and highest = 100, range of 5 means 0,20,40,60,80,100 (so 5 ranges are 0-20, 20-40, 40-60, 60-80, 80-100).Also if the ranges turn to have decimals due to weird numbers, I would like to round them up.My problem is, in order to find highest and lowest when there are non numeric values in the array like "?", how should I handle those? I was thinking of something like Double.NaN but I would have to have an array of doubles.
I would like to know that how am i going to validate the data inside a currency field to see whether its format is correct or not ?How am i going to reload the data when an action is canceled ? For example, when i click the cancel button, a message box will pop up and ask the user whether he/she want to cancel the action. When the user click yes, the action will be cancel and the data inside a database will automatically display inside the text boxes, as if everything is start from the beginning

View 3 Repliesi'm having a problem with a column in my datagrid. Basically i'm getting the data from a database table and putting it into a datagrid. Then i've added an extra column to add up the 2 prices from the table.
I can do that fine, but the problem is that it only shows the total price to the nearest pound.
This is the bit of code that adds up the 2 columns

I have a code that binds the data from the database to textboxes. The problem is I want to make one of the textboxes Payment use a dollar sign.I tried formatting it as shown in the code below but only the first record gets formatted, the rest do not. When I click the next button, the dollar sign disappeared.
Here is a portion of the code:
bs = New BindingSource(ds, ds.Tables(0).TableName)
Me.txtPayment.DataBindings.Add("Text", bs, "Payment")
Me.txtPayment.Text = Format(CType(txtPayment.Text, Decimal), ("c"))
I have tried everything else I know, FormatCurrency but no luck.Payment is the name of the column in the database, the data type in SQL Server is Small Money.

I have the book "Visual Basic 2008 Step by Step", I am in the final chapters and have completed all of the walk through and demo programs thus far. I am a beginner but I also have a basic understanding of quite a few program statements and objects. My Goal: For the sake of simplicity I will use an example. I have a Tetris game, the player loses in the first level earns 25 points they click the save score button. , they play again tomorrow and do 1,000 levels and earn 25,000, now their score is 25,025.
Then they play my blackjack game, they gain 25,025 points when they start automatically from their Tetris game, they earn 25 points in blackjack click a save score button, now they have 25,050. [Thus far I have 2 games, and they both share a score that will need to be added to in the future]
