Detect Culture Of Number Period Or Comma For Decimal Point / Thousands Separator?
Jul 1, 2011
In VB.Net, is there a way of auto-detecting the culture of a string representation of a number? I'll explain the situation:Our asp.net web site receives xml data feeds for boat data. Most of the time, the number format for the prices use either a simple non-formatted integer e.g. "999000". That's easy for us to process.Occaisionally, there are commas for thousands separators and periods for the decimal point. Also, that's fine as our data import understands this. Example "999,000.00".We're starting to get some data from France where some of the prices have been entered with the periods and thousands separators the other way around as that's the way it's done in many European countries. E.g. "999.000,00". This is where our system would interpret that as nine hundred and ninety nine pounds instead of the nine hundred and ninety nine thousand pounds that was intended.

I'm trying to filter the results of a xml file. One of the fields I've been requested to filter is the attribute price of each node. The problem is the xml is from a spanish source and the prices are with decimal separator being , instead of . and thousands separator is , instead of .I'm trying to get an xml file filtered where only nodes withprices lower than one supplied appear.
The xml structure is:
<RoomStays>
<RoomStay InfoSource="" Price="201,60" Discount="0" MealPlan="Sólo alojamiento" MealPlanId="1" Provider="Marsol" ProviderId="3" HotelName="HOTEL LA ESTACION" Rating="" Latitud="" Longitud="">
[code]....
I've tried to filter using XPath and Linq2Xml. I've come to the conclussion I have to replace , with . and . with , but I get 0 results.With values below 1000 where there is only , I've got it using:
doc.XPathSelectElements(./RoomStays/RoomStay[translate(@Price,',','.')<=256.78])
But when there are prices above 1000 with thousands separator . it doesn't work, so I tried:
doc.XPathSelectElements(./RoomStays/RoomStay[translate(translate(@Price,'.',''),',','.')<=256.78])
But it returns 0 results (I tried to use replace function instead of translate to remove the . characters but I get an exception).

Is there a format string to format a decimal to 000000000,00. So first 9 digits, right padded with zeros if needed; a comma as fraction separator and two fraction digits.
0 => 00000000,00
12 => 00000012,00
987456,456 => 000987456,46
So something like myDecimal.ToString("D9") together with .ToString("F2").

a fixed number of fraction digits

My chemistry calculations program, written in Visual Studio 2008, VB.Net (Win XP), gives completely wrong results when a Comma is used as Decimal Symbol.The calculations are only correct with a Dot (.) as Decimal Symbol.How can I make the calculation results independent of the Decimal Symbol? (Dot or Comma)?(For example Excel calculates correctly with a Dot or Comma as Decimal Symbol)I have found an old thread adressing the same problem, but no simple and easy solution was given.

For some time I try to get the comma instead of the decimal point, but the labels I use won't display a comma. For some reason I don't understand, the msgbox() does the trick, but is useless in my application. This is my last desperate piece of code I tried but it also failed.
Expresserprijs = EuropluscolNL(ArrayCol, 2) - EuropluscolNL(ArrayCol, 1)
' All above are "Doubles" and are fed with data like 21,45 (with comma's that is)
Decimaalteken = Expresserprijs
' Decimaalteken is a string
MsgBox(Decimaalteken)
[Code] .....

I am trying to think of a possible way to insert a colon and decimal point to a part of a number. I am making a Rubik's Cube timer, and I converted the times to milliseconds so I can calculate the average of 5 with that. I averaged the milliseconds, but now I need to convert that into minutes, seconds, and milliseconds. Does anyone have any idea on how I would go about this?

I'm creating a maths program and when it comes to division it's giving me .34216 as answeres which isn't what I want.I was thinking declaring the textbox the answer appears in as a single.It's not working out though and it's still using decimal points.I was told by my teacher to declare it as an integer so I tried that too, it's not working out also. I figured based on the code, I would be declaring array3() as the single or integer since that's the textbox the answer will be output into. [code]

So basically, my program is going around the world, and it has come to my realization that certain places use commas instead of periods for decimals points. So herein lies my problem. If the computer's local language is German, then the program will accept commas, but then errors are produced with periods, and vice versa with an American computer. So my question is, is it possible to make the program permanently use periods, and then have a function that can convert any commas to periods?

My user requests to change the . on the numpad to a when entering text in a multiline textbox.So I was thinking about the KeyDown event.To determine if the numpad . was pressed I can do something like this [code]But now how do I change the returned charachter as a , ? All e.Key... properties are ReadOnly. The KeyPress events let me change this by providing e.KeyChar, but in that event I can't check for the numpad .

I have a app that updates an Access Database via a datagrid view. I'm updating two column of type Single. The code works perfectely when the regional settings are default US-EN.For computers running in germany an update to the backend database throw a datatype mismatch error. I change the decimal separator on the computer with 'German' for region settings from Comma (,) to (.) period and everything works fine.I add thread culture to US-ENG at the startup of the application. Now the error disappears but then 2.5 is now stored as 25 in the access database.
I add these lines at the beginning of the application soon after the designer code
System.Threading.Thread.CurrentThread.CurrentCulture = New System.Globalization.CultureInfo("en-US") System.Threading.Thread.CurrentThread.CurrentUICulture = New System.Globalization.CultureInfo("en-US")
This is a MDI app and this code is in the container window...

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.

I am trying to prevent the user from typing dupilicate decimals or periods into a data entry form. The code below has all been tried and yes, there was a do something in there. This is just a sample of what I tried. When I could not trap "." I moved through various renditions of the e.keyvalue still no luck. I know it is simple and stupid but it darn sure escapes me...
If e.KeyValue = 110 Then 'NUMPAD DECIMAL
If Me.MultiplierTextBox.Text = "." Then
End If

I have
Dim InputVariable as Double
InputVariable = Val(InputBox1.Text)
Now I am in Germany and we enter decimal values with a comma, like 53,52. When I enter this into my InputBox, the InputVariable shows only 53 after Val(). This is caused by entering the comma as decimal separator instead of the dot. When i enter it with a dot, like 53.52, the variable has the correct value. Is there a workaround, so that i can use the Val() function together with german input of comma decimal symbol and my variable gets assigned the correct decimal value instead of cutting it off?

Using VB.NET - I have a string:
"##RES00012##Some value ##RES00034##Another value"
That I want to split using the "##RES" as a seperator to:
"##RES00012## Some value " and "##RES00034## Another value"
The string.split function doesn't seem to offer an overload to split on multiple characters or array of characters and maintain the seperator, which is required for functional purposes.
I'm looking at simply searching for indexOf("##res") and using string manipulation to do this unless I'm missing something obvious? I've searched SO for a solution but unable to find anything that actually does what I'm after.
The following is the closest i've found: how-do-i-split-a-string-by-a-multi-character-delimiter-in-c
