Detect If A Value Is In A Decimal Type?
Jun 21, 2011
I'm trying to detect if a value is a decimal type and insert it into a DB. If the value is a decimal, I want to continue with the inserting. If the value is not a decimal I want to insert "0" as a value to the DB.
For this I created a function seen below... What is wrong with it?
Function IfNotDeci(ByVal Arvo) As String
If Arvo is Decimal = True Then
Return Arvo
[Code]....
The problem is on the first "If". How to know if the value is a decimal?
(I need this code because my values are read from different excel-files that are not always correct. So if a human didn't write a decimal value to a cell, the program should not respond with an error, but just insert a "0".)

I am pulling data from a local MSSQL database using a stored procedure, then send the data to a web service. Every part of the component works well except for a pesky problem will a DBNull being returned from the DataRow field, when I know that the field is not null and has valid data. The database and associated INSERT statements that add to this field are designed to not allow NULL entries. When I debug break the program on or right before the line that throws the error I see that the field has valid data for the current row.If I add a null check to the code (as below) the operation continues as normal:
Dim dataResultsTable = Me.myViewTableAdapter.GetData(int)
For Each myDataRow In dataResultsTable.Rows
If worker.CancellationPending Then
[code]....
Why is the read operation returning DBNull instead of the data in the database?
EDIT: Just to be clear, the operation does return the proper data, but the data is not being saved into the variable.

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.

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

I am attempting to convert a DBNull value to a decimal (0, 0.0, 0.00 etc).
My current code is If row.Item("Name of row") Is DBNull.Value Then NameOfRow = Convert.ToDecimal(0.0) End If When i run my app i pass in the row to convert. Every other datatype works/runs as expected except Decimal. It runs with the abbreviated code below:
For each row..in dataset.rows Object = row.table("Table").Item("Name of row")Next The Object.... line causes an error. The error is DBNull' to type 'Decimal' is not valid.... Ive tried many attempts to overcome this but cant get this to work. Could anyone guide me?

here is a very important matter to be corrected as soon as possible. generally,type double can display an answer correct to more than 20 decimal places. yes,it works fine until here except for exponential system. whenever i try to find a decimal raised to the power of a proper fraction, i get a correct answer but only upto 13 decimal places. that is not fair at all! it is important to get as high precision as possible. consider this example:-
[code...]
i want that number of correct decimal places or approximation,which a windows 7 calculator has. i believe that this is someway easy to get rid of. please support.it is important for programs like calculator,worksheets,databases,etc.

When I click on a header (Price) to sort the rows by that column, I get an error Object must be of type decimal.
I'm thinking that I'm encountering a new row without any values that's why this error is being generated.
I'm not sure how to intercept this error or fix it for that matter....

What's the deal with those 23 unused bits in the Decimal data type? You know, there's the 96-bit integer portion, then 16 unused bits, then 8 bits for the exponent (which can only be 0 through 28, so doesn't even use all 8 bits), then 7 more unused bits, then the sign bit [URL]...

I want to assign a Value to a Variable of Decimal Type to do a calculation, but when I enter the decimal value (a 28 digits to the right of the decimal point - very long numbers) it gets altered. I give below what I was doing:
Dim MyNumber As Decimal = 0.7777777777777777777777777774
But as soon as I finish typing the number, it becomes 0.77777777777777779 and appears as,
Dim MyNumber As Decimal = 0.77777777777777779
And, when the cursor is kept over the altered number it shows as "Double, Represents a Double - precision floating-point number." How can I get the value I wanted to stay without getting changed? I was able to get this long Decimal value as the result of a calculation and get that appears in a text box in the same program. Is there anything I should change in the "Visual Studio 2008" to get this ?

Please excuse the newbie question as I started learning VB last week . I wrote the following test code below to add two values entered in two textboxes and display it in another textbox. However I keep getting the exception. "Conversion from string "" to type 'Decimal' is not valid" with the code below and I cannot figure out why . I thought converting using 'CDec' resolves this issue ?

I am trying to insert a variable in Decimal type into an Access table. When I use "decimal" field with 0 digits after the decimal separator (,) my program works properly. However, when i use the field with 2 digits after the separator I get a "Data type mismatch in criteria expression." exception. This happens also when I try to update the table. The debugger shows me that my variables contain the right values but the update or insert command gives the error.

I have to display all the digits of 2^90. This is within the reach of the Decimal format which can display up to 2^96-1. The Decimal format stops displaying after the 15th digit.The real answer for 2^90 is : 12 379 400 392 853 802 274 899 124 224 (29 digits)
Here is what I do:
Dim a As Decimal = 2^90
TextBox1.Text = a

Im trying to set one variable equal to another but it says "No default member found for type 'Decimal'" what does that mean?Both the varuables are deciamls, one is a regular decimal that I declare in the sub and another is an array that I declare in the class. The line is:
tempx = xo(i)
this is in a for loop with i as the variable.

Is there such a thing as a type similar to a point, but contains a pair of decimals, or a pair of doubles, rather than integers? I searched the forums and google with no luck. I can't believe this has never come up before, I must have been using the wrong search terms.

Decimal type columns have Precision and Scale where the length of the integral part of the decimal would be Precision - Scale, if the Precision is 4 and the Scale is 2 then the integral part can only contain 2 digits (4-2). As such I will probably need a control that I could set how much it should accept on its integral part. In that regard I am not sure which control is best for such cases, I could try to make a usercontrol that will handle that but is there any other control out there that I could utilize for this purpose, intrinsic to .Net or a custom control out there? I could also just validate the data keyed-in but the above solution seem to be more user-friendly. Curiously, when databinding such Decimal type columns, how is it handled when the specified integral part exceeds the allowable size (Precision minus Scale)?

I have a xml node, which can be shown in immediate window as
?Me.SelectSingleNode("./FloatAmount").InnerText
"100.00"
?typename(Me.SelectSingleNode("./FloatAmount").InnerText)
"String"
However, I want to return a decimal value.
?cdec(Me.SelectSingleNode("./FloatAmount").InnerText)
Run-time exception thrown : System.InvalidCastException - Conversion from string "100.00" to type 'Decimal' is not valid.

my application has a data table, one of the column set as decimal type to store number, data is read from a text file and store into the data table, then display in a datagridview, I found when that number is only 1 digit, that cell displays nothing (I think no number is being store in that cell), if I type a 1 digit number into that cell is fine. for example,
1.1 [ok]
12 [ok]
0.15 [ok]
4 [not display]
9 [not display]
-23.8 [ok]
so which data type I should use on this column, in order to display all this possible numbers

So, let's say I have this code (VB.Net)[code]...
What I don't like is:
- relies upon reflection
- loosely typed (no compile time checking)
- I'd rather store the binding information somewhere other than ID, but don't know where else it could go within the aspx definition. Moving the binding declaration to the code behind would be better in some ways, but worse in others.

automatically the date is set to 01/01/0001
is there a better way to check that no value has been assigned to the variable a part to compare the datatevalue?

I've got a custom NumericEditor control that has a nullable Decimal property called Value. When I bind a data field to Value, I'd like to retrieve the underlying Type of the data that's bound, so that I can restrict the use of decimal places if the source field is an integral data type.I figure I'd have to do this in the BindingContextChanged event, but how do I get the Type of the data field from the binding itself? My Google-Fu is failing me at the moment.
In short, I'm looking for something like the GetValueType method mentioned in the following question: Simple databinding - How to handle bound field/property change. Winforms, .Net I imagine this method would also be handy if the Value property was an Object.

I'm trying to track down a problem on our test environment. Previously it was set to use InProc Session State Type, but I've added in the SQLServer type for one specific Web App. I did this because we use the SQLServer type in our production environment and I want our test env to match as closely as possible.
However, after changing it to SQLServer I do not get any errors when trying to store unserializable data in session like I would expect. It works just fine, even though I would think it shouldn't. I'm a relative newbie when it comes to configuring this, but from the various tutorials I googled, I thought I covered all the bases.I was wondering if there's any code snippets to verify which session state type an application is actively using.

How do I determin if a user has given me what I am asking for in terms of data type.
Example if my prompt to the user say "Give me a number of double data type"
How can I tell that the user entered a double xx.yy?
Or if I am testing for integers and I get user input ABC.GH?
I know about CDbl and CInt and CStr but these don't work unless data is provided. Also how do you test if the conversion took place? Also how do you differencate between 12.00 being integer?
