View 11 RepliesI m using a reportviewer in vs2008 with vb. I have a database field(datatype decimal) on my reportviewer. I added a textbox from toolbox into the reportviewer. Now i want to show currency text into textbox equivalent to that database field value. In short i want to convert 155.75 into "one hunded fifty five dollars and seventy five cents". Here 155.75 is decimal value from database field and one hunded fifty five dollars and seventy five cents" the converted textbox value. I have a private function in my module for conversion. but i m not getting idea how to implement that function on reportviewer or how to call that function to convert as i want.

-longitude local (e.g. 103.3883333)

I am working on a simple Point of Sale Program for my Intro to Visual Basic class. I am trying to pull a substring with a decimal point (ex 0009.50) from the string I get from my readline and turn it into a decimal value for calculating money values. Something is wrong with they way that I am converting and I can't find how to to it write in my book.

I need to convert a decimal value(Float Decimal value) to Binary(Float), How can I convert
EX,
Dim a as Double = 2.2
How can I convert this to Binary,
If we use Convert.toString(a,2), It'll return "10",
I'm working on an app and in the textbox field I would like to be able to convert anytime a user would type .36 it would actually change and display 0.36, mainly I want it on the key press of the period just add a zero before it, and I need this to happen on the keydown event.. anyone have any ideas for me on how to do this? This is all I know so far...[code] One last smidget of problem too, I only want this to happen when the user types . in the beginning not if he types 4.22 with the period being after a digit.
View 10 RepliesFirst: Ok so I'm trying to do a project in my beginning VB .Net class. We are supposed to be taking information from 5 different sections of a form and store them into an array and then call upon them later. We have Name, Address, City,State, and Zip. How would I go about saving the information into an array and then calling upon it later through File IO?
Second: I'm having a problem converting my string into a decimal. Whenever I calculate the price of the order I get 3-4 decimal places. Here is a little snippet of my code for the this:
[code]...
I have dimmed pricewithout tax as a decimal and stateselect as a string. The stateselect is based off a drop down list.
Currently using VS2008, VB.NET, SQL.
I have a FormView from a Data Source that is getting some fields that are stored as Decimals in the SQL Database.
I am grabbing the field from the FormView as such:
Dim AvgTicketL As Label = CType(frmMerchantProfile.FindControl("F10Label"), Label)
I need to take this value, and convert it to an Integer, then send it along to an API. I have the API Calls done, tested and working, but I'm getting an error as when it is getting this value, the API is returning "Must be an Integer" error.
What I have tried so far:
Dim AvgTicketL As Label = CType(frmMerchantProfile.FindControl("F10Label"), Label)
Dim AvgTicket1 As Integer
AvgTicket1 = Double.Parse(AvgTicket.Text)
Do something with AvgTicket1
I have also attempted to Round the Value, then convert it and call it - no luck.
Checking the value of AvgTicket1 (Writing it out to a Label or Response.Write) shows "100", where the database value was 100.00. But the API is still getting 100.00, apparently. Any other conversion method that I've attempted states errors that the Label cannot be converted to Integer.
What are some methods I can successfully convert this value to an integer from a label?
I'm sure this is simple to do but I'm struggling to get this work, I've tried using convert.tostring, decimal.tostring, ctype(object, type) and cstr(object) but without success. I guess I'm trying to change the decial object to a string object and then assign it a value of empty string but always get type mismatch error.[code]
View 4 RepliesI was given a school project in which I have to make a program that converts numbers between binary,decimal,octal and hexadecimal systems. I have figured out how to make a function to convert binary number to decimal number [code]With this code,a user can enter a number that isn't binary,and program will calculate it. How can I make that program doesn't calculate those numbers or doesn't accept anything else than 0 or 1? This is needed for other cases like octal and hexadecimal system.
View 3 RepliesThis program, it reads in a file, and displays it in hexadecimal, like using a hex editor. It then goes to compare the strings and whatnot, and display certain values. During the program, there is a time where I need to display a set of offsets as decimal because that is the way that it is shown regularly.
Taking the two specific offsets and displaying them in hex ends up giving me something like "3039" or "000A", which should respectively convert to 12345 or 00010. This "ID" that I am converting, can be 00000 to 65535, which in hex is 0000 to FFFF. The current method I was given only works if the value is less than 512 or something like that.

What code should I write to convert a Base36 to decimal?
View 6 RepliesHow would I convert the two individual byte values (in hex) to a decimal value representing the concatenated hex values? For example, if I have the
Dim byte1 As Byte = &H99
Dim byte2 As Byte = &H99
' I want the decimal representation of the hex value "9999" ' (byte1.ToString + byte2.ToString) which should be "39321" Currently I use the following code:
Dim decVal as integer
decVal = Val("&H" + Hex$(byte1).ToString + Hex$(byte2).ToString)
However, when I use this, the value (decVal) comes out to "-26215"
I am converting decimal to binary by:
Code:
Dim i As Int64 = Convert.ToInt64("2")
TextBox1.Text = Convert.ToString(i, 2)

I've searched for the solution for this however 'answers'i've found have perhaps been a little more than I've needed. basically i have 2 textboxes on my form, 'textbox1' is populated by a value from a database, say.. 200.00 on form load. 'textbox2' needs to accept a users value (say 50.00) and then add/subtract that from the value in 'textbox1' when the form's refreshed/submitted/whatever
whats the syntax involved in this process, i've seen efforts involving parse, 'Cint' etc but need to check there isn't some ridiculously easy way of doing this..
1) One Decimal Varibale stores a decimal value
2) The value must be converted in string ( some time the comma is used as decimalplaceholder some time the dot)
3) the user modifies the value
4) i need to riconvert the string back in decimal
how can i do this
so:
Variable 123.34D ----> textBox 123,34 or 123.34 -----> variable 123.34D
What is the cleanest, most readable way to String.Format a decimal with the following criteria
start with a sign symbol (+ or -)
a fixed number of fraction digits
no decimal separator
right aligned
pre-padded with "0"'s

View 5 RepliesI am trying to validate wether a number is a decimal in Visual Basic. The results I get when the number is valid the msgBox shows. When it is not valid, I don't receive the msgBox and the program crashes with an error message that number has to be less than infinity.I tried adding another If Not IsNumeric(txt1.text) then -- But received the same results.
Where did i go wrong?
If IsNumeric(txt1.text) Then
msgBox("good")

View 6 RepliesI am trying to take the amount entered in a text box and save that to a sql database in decimal format. The field in the table is set as decimal 7,2
The amount a user inputs is save to the table. However it rounds the decimal amount. eg. 10.55 saved as 11.00 & 10.45 saved as 10.00 I'm using visual studio 2010 and vb.net
myCommand.Parameters.AddWithValue("customer_contribution", Convert.ToDecimal(CType(Me.FormView1.FindControl("CustomerContributionTextbox"), TextBox).Text))
I've also tried it without the Decimal conversion and end up with the same results.
myCommand.Parameters.AddWithValue("customer_contribution", customer_contribution)

I am new to vb and need some help with this change program. The idea is that we are given a certain amoun of change and then telling how many dollars, quarters, dimes, nickles and pennies. I thought I would convert the decimal to an integer and then use a while loop for every text box, i.e. dollars, quarters, dimes, etc.., to show how many of each, but the while loop is confusing for me in vb, but to tell you the truth I don't know if I am on the right track,

How can I change the IF statement to accept the ascii code of decimal points? Then... how can I make sure the user doesn't enter 354.5.3535.5.0 as a number? Is there some sort of built in library in VB that has a pattern matching for US currency or do I have to write it myself?
