How easy it is to "split" a bitmap into separate parts?Here is a bitmap that was generated by a program - the red pixels that you see are purely red, there are no other colours.I want to know if the left side is "redder" than the right side. (Actually I want to be more precise than that (but I can figure that out on my own))So, I think that "splitting" the bitmap up into sections like this: would be the best way to do it then I can count the red pixels in each section.Here is the part of the code snippet that produced the bitmap you see above:I think I might be able to modify this easily to count pixels, if I know how to split the bitmap into section thingies.

i would like to know what is the purpose of dividing by 50?
im trying to learn how to made stuff with currency.For example:I divide 10.000$ by 12 Months, rounding with 2 decimals i have 833,33 $.If i multiply 833,33 $ * 12 i got 9999,96 $, so there is 0.04 of possible loss.
Rounding the 9999.96 with 2 decimals of presition i got 10.000 $ but that's what i don't want since 0.04 is a loss.Im using SQL Compact 4.0 as database, the price_month table is decimal(18,2)
Here is my code:
Dim price as Decimal = 10000
Dim pricemonth as Decimal = Math.round((price/12),2) ' 833.33
Console.Writeline(pricemonth*12) ' 9999.96
Console.Writeline(Math.round((pricemonth*12),2)) ' 10000

View 2 RepliesI've read a lot of different questions on SO about multithreaded applications and how to split work up between them, but none really seem to fit what I need for this. Here's how my program currently basically works:
Module Module1
'string X declared out here
Sub Main()
[Code]....
This is only a rough outline of what actually happens in my code by the way.
My problem being that if multiple threads start running Main2(), they're dealing with the same X value as in the other threads. The loop inside of main2 executes multiple times per millisecond, so I can't just stagger the loops. There is often duplication of work done.
How can I properly divide up the work so that the two threads running simultaneously never have the same work to run?
I'm stuck on a simple problem maybe you can help!
Why does this work

All I did is change the multiply symbol to a divide symbol and now when I try to divide the two Decimal variables Visual Studio says, "Option strict on disallows conversions from 'Decimal' to 'Long'." Not sure where this conversion is happening.I know I'm missing something simple (once again) so if anyone has any advice please let me know.
I am working on an application that allow the user to store data as numbers.These numbers are later on used for calculation. The number can be of any type and are saved as string. The problem is when they are used for calculation how can understand when it is better to treat them as doubles and when as decimals?
View 9 RepliesI'm trying to make a program that uses Ohms circle to calculate varying data regarding electricity, I think that if you look at my code you'll get a good idea. The problem that I'm having is that I'm using On Error Resume Next so the program will automatically find the valid calculation to calculate the value for the variable, but what's happening is that when it divides by zero (the default value for variables with no value) it gets Infinity, which it has decided IS a value, but I don't want it to be, I need a runtime error so it will bypass that calculation and go on to the next one.

in .NET, when I add two SqlDecimals, like so:

then s3 has precision 2, whereas both s1 and s2 have precision 1. This seems odd, especially as the documentation states that the return value of the addition operator is "A new SqlDecimal structure whose Value property contains the sum." I.e. according to the documentation, addition should not change the precision.

I have a stopwatch in my program. I start the stopwatch with the start button I created. When I stop it it gives the results of the time in a label that I have named labelTime. I have a Calculate button I have created. I also have a label I have named calcResult. I want to click the Calculate button and divide the stopwatch result (labelTime) by 60. I want the results of this calculation to be displayed in the label calcResult. I keep getting errors saying labelTime is a string value. I believe I will need my calcResult to be a Decimal.
View 20 RepliesWhat is the proper way of working with percentages and DataGridView and dividing by zero..In my code I am attempting to divide two numbers, sometimes one of the numbers is zero..Then I need to add a column to my datagrid, I think i need it to be decimal?

I had it as a string and everything worked fine excpet i couldnt sort properly.[code]If I change column to Double it handles it fine, then i am not sure how to read the value as a percentage?

I need a function which will Round a number UP to the specified decimal precision, exactly the same as how Excel's RoundUp function works:
Roundup(dblVal, intDecPlaces)
So I need the following:
Roundup(0.896523, 4)
would return
0.8966
However, everything i've tried/found simply rounds to the nearest whole integer, or returns a normal rounded value, hence the above would return
0.8965
I've tried the following:
Math.Round(dblval, intPrecision, midpointrounding.awayfromzero)
' and
Math.Round(dblval, intPrecision, midpointrounding.toeven)
And even custom functions, such as:
Public Function RoundUp(ByVal varValue As Object, _
ByVal iNum As Integer) As Double
'ignore the data types here, I was playing to see 'if changing any of the data types would swing 'the results (knowing full well they wouldnt make 'a difference, thats how fed up with this I am!)

I've even looked at converting this to a string, looking at the Xth decimal place, and incrementing it up by 1, then converting it back to a double, while this works (sort of) it seems to be a very roughshod way of doing it, and I'd rather do it mathematically than with lots of data conversion.
I've a scenario where I've to move data from a Oracle Table to a SQL Server table. The column in Oracle is Timestamp(6) 6 being the precision. Now I cannot send the Oracle Data in string format.

We are trying to store DateTime values in an Oracle Date field. However, the precision is being lost. Currently only the year, month, and date are being stored. We need better precision than this.
Oracle Dates are supposed to "includes not just the month, day, and year, but also
the hour, minute, and second. "
