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?
I have a textbox that is filled by the method [code]...
View 3 RepliesI have a field that I display via: String.Format({0:c},amount) This produces the string "$28.28" However, when I try to convert back to a decimal amount, I get an incorrect format exception: amount = Decimal.Parse(amount.Text, NumberStyles.Currency) I also tried it with NumberStyles.AllowCurrencySymbol with the same results. I verified that the value in amount.Text is "$28.28". Am I missing something? Shouldn't these two operations use the same currency symbol and formats?
View 2 RepliesI am using String.Format("{0:C2}", -1234)to format numbers.is always formats the amount to a positive number, while I want it to become $*-*1234
View 4 RepliesI need to give comma(,) for every thousends. So I used DataFormatString="${0:#,#}". It is working fine. But when value is 0. It is showing $00. I just want to show only $0.
How can we do that?
I am practicing for my next semester, trying to get ahead in VB.Net, so I got a library book and I am attempting the book exercises, in this exercise I need to replace the currency format to the To.String format, but everythiing I try doesnt work, and everything I read online just confuses me more, can anyone shed light on why my code is not outputting my discount amount and my total amount?
Dim subtotal As Decimal = Decimal.Parse(txtSubtotal.Text)
Dim discountPercent As Decimal = 0.25D
Dim discountAmount As Decimal = Math.Round(subtotal * discountPercent, 2)
Dim invoiceTotal As Decimal = Math.Round(subtotal - discountAmount, 2)

I 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)

It works, but it doesnt seem very well written... Oh and if you are wondering why I wrote my own ReverseString method rather than just using the Reverse extension method on the String class - It seems to return a collection of chars rather than a string (god knows why) and I couldnt find any easy/obvious way to convert this collection of chars back to a string (I thought just CStr would do it but apparently not)

View 3 RepliesI wish to convert my string in format dd/mm/yyyy hh:mm:ss to a DateTime of the same format.
Dim ukCulture As System.Globalization.CultureInfo = New System.Globalization.CultureInfo("en-GB")
Dim myDateTime As DateTime
myDateTime = DateTime.ParseExact("18/05/2010 23:42:10, "dd/MM/yyyy HH:mm:ss", ukCulture)
When I step through this code the variable myDateTime is 05/18/2010 23:42:10 it appears that the dd/mm is the wrong way around and I cant work out how to correct this.
