Converting Double To String (Not In Scientific Notation)
Nov 12, 2011
The only post I can find on this matter is one that coverts the double to a decimal before converting it into a string. However the numbers I'm using are far larger than what a decimal can store.
Example: 1/(16^10)
So how can I convert the solution to the problem above. Which equals 0.00000000000090949470177292824, to a string value that is exactly as it's shown?
Cause when I convert this to a decimal I still end up with a string in scientific notation..

I am working on a project that involes reading an Excel file, picking through it, then creating a flat CSV file. One of the the data elements I am picking up is a 9 character string that may be numeric, or contain one or more alpha chatacters. Excel has a nasty habit of converting long numerics to scientific notaion. I can overcome this by converting the "general" string to "TEXT".
However, there is one instance where I can not get the function to work...the string is "90333E108" ( the CUSIP for USU). Regardless, the text string is saved properly into the CSV file. When opened in a text editor, it reads correctly.
When opened with Excel, it is in scientific notation. Changing the field to "text" from "scientific" still displays "9.03E+112".
how to create an csv file that Excel will open and read correctly?
You can test this by creating an Excel workbook, format all cells as TEXT and add the following data:
90333E108
123
2

I've written a small program that does some calculations and I want to display some of the results in scientific notation. For example, I want to display 0.005 as 5.0E-3.

I was using the following code:
If Entry.ToLower = "test" Then
Dim test As Double
test = Double.Parse(InputBox("test", "test")[code]....
to check if I can inputoutput scientific numbers tofrom Double.I was able to output the data successfully. (With "E" instead of "* 10 ^" but that's fine)But when I input the same number error occurs.
"System.FormatException: Input string was not in a correct format.

I am trying to have a firm grasp of VB.NET and wondering if there is a way to use a double dot notation instead of the single dot notation people are normally accustomed to?The double dot notation that I want to implement is shown directly below:
PersonData.Birthdate.IsValid
Currently, the only way I know is by using the call shown below which I suspect is not using the full capabilities of .NET:
Validations.IsValid(PersonData.Birthdate)
My code is shown below:
vb.net
Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click
modVar.intDay = 25

I would like to know if Visual Studio does have a setting where you can choose whether it should write nombers like 0.00000127 in scientific notation or not? I am writing such doubles to file but VB2008 writes them in scientific notation. If I treat these numbers as decimals then it writes them correctly, but I also have to take care of performance as I'm writing lots of numbers.

I was trying to convert from Double to String and everything working fine. But when I tried some bigger number with fractions in it. I got the number but rounded. I tried something like that:
Dim dd As Double = 1235212435.3453636
Dim str As String = dd
MsgBox(str)
But what I got is 1235212435.34536 instead of 1235212435.3453636

I want to convert an array of numbers to a string with a colon imbetween splitting it. I tried:
StringA = Join(Array(), ":")
I get the error: 'Number of indices is less than the number of dimensions of the indexed array.'I seem to get this error alot in my programming but don't exactly know what causes it. Even if I can fix this error I heard that Join only works for string arrays so this wouldn't work anyway.

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.

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

just hoping that someone may be able to assist me to convert system.array to double() array.
Declarations are as follows:
Private f_Data As System.Array
Private f_Measures() As Double
Private f_NumberOfObservations As Integer
I then 'fill' f_Data from a range in an Excel worksheet as follows:
f_Data = wsXLSData.Range(wsXLSData.Cells(1,1), wsXLSData.Cells(8, 1)).Value
This seems to work OK. Upon checking f_Data is indeed filled with 8 double type numbers.
I then try to convert this system.array to a double array as follows:
For i As Integer = 0 To f_NumberOfObservations - 1
f_Measures(i) = f_Data(i + 1, 1).value
Next
I then get an error pointing to the line ' f_Measures(i) = f_Data(i + 1, 1).value' of type MissingMemberException was unhandled by user code'

Our programming teacher taught us to use the Hungarian notation (e.g. intMyInteger, strMyString,...) while programming.But I have heard somewhere this isn't actually used in the professional world. Is this true?

I'm trying to build a scientific calculator with vb .net, except it is vista glass :-p
I basically want the user to be able to enter an equation like SQRT(5 * 6) / (2 ^ 4) and then I want vb to use system.math to solve it. If I write this in my code, vb is able to do it, so how could I do this at runtime.

If Double.Parse(list_numbers.Item(i), possibledouble)
list_numbers is a list of strings
list_numbers.Item(i) = "0.000"
possibledouble is a double
debugger returns "input string was not in a correct format"
i thought that the double parse would convert the string into a double format of "0.0" but it gives me an error.
