View 3 RepliesWhats the best way to include the Currency Symbol, without affecting arithmetic operations for example. Lets say I have a Listview which has one column named "Cost" where ill be a Currency Value which needs to carry the symbol for example "BsF. 22,34" or "$. 22,34". Lets say I need to apply aritmetics with those values after whats the best way to store em or at least ignore the symbol when using arithmetic on them?

View 2 RepliesNeed to get this done: To have just ONE cell that is defined in a dropdown list with several (various) countries� currencies, and each time when I choose a currency on this dropdown, EVERY cell in my worksheet which has a figure formatted with CURRENCY will automatically turn into that currency selected only in that dropdown cell. I have imagined whether if there was a solution, that the monetary cells do not necessarily have to be first in CURRENCY format, or do they have to? Anyway, I do nt know how to accomplish this, Without the solution, I have still at this time just set all the cells with monetary amounts in simple NUMBER format, ie. no CURRENCY SYMBOL at all, till I find a solution ..
View 1 Replieshow can I display the EURo) sign instead of a question mark in a console application on german windows XP SP3 system?(untested code due to lack of access to a XP system)
dim s as string even placing a in the code displays just a question mark
s = strings.format("currenty test: Euro {0:c}", 42)
EUR displayed as question mark
writeline(s)In the console, I can type AltGr + e to get an euro sign. So the used console font (lucidia console I think) has the correct font.
I'm outputting a Double that can be either (+) or negative (-). If the number is a negative the symbol (-) is included automatically, is there a way to do this for positive numbers as well?
The only (horrible) way I can do this is :
If MyNumber <= 0 then
string.Format("{0:0.00}", MyNumber)
Else
string.Format("+{0:0.00}", MyNumber)
End If
We are noticing this occurs BOTH in javascript and in VB.net 2.0. So basically both in server side and client side code. Basically if you run this equation 975328 - 153279.43 you get the following answer 822048.57000000007. However, if you run 975328 - 153279.4, 975328 - 153279.433, or 975328 - 153279.5 everything is returned correctly. WHY the system calcuates the 975328 - 153279.43 with an answer with 11 decimal places? Not to mention adding the 7 in the 11th decimal place, thus making the equation answer incorrect.Of course I know I can trim, set the answer to appropiate decimal places, etc., etc.the above is proven by just entering the equation into the immidiate window, thus ellimnating varibables such as object types, etc., etc.
View 3 RepliesI have been having an issue with returning records from a SQLServer database where the date the record was created is between 2 user specified dates. When I populate the DataGridView with the results, they are incorrect and do not follow any recognisable pattern.
For example, if I specify the dates 05/05/2010 and 12/05/2010 I get the attached data in the DataGridView.
Code:
Private Sub btnGo_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles btnGo.Click

I have a asp.net mvc route that is taking a url and doing a simple get and return the status code from the request.

Now if I use firefox (using Firebug) and go to the url http://www.facebook.com/blah.html, I get the expected 404 returned. However if I use my application to call the mvc route via an ajax call, I get 200. If I set the request object's AllowAutoRedirect to false, I get 302. I never get a 404. I am verifying this once again through Firebug.

I'm creating a UDF in VB.NET that sometimes works with currency, which I would need to use the Decimal format in VB. But sometimes I working with time or just a plain double. What methods are out their for determining how I should add the values up, with a decimal or double? I prefer not to have excel return the actual range for simplicity sake but will do if I need to determine if it is formatted as currency.

I have a htpc project that I am working on. The main program loads dll plugins which are basically other win forms. On each of these forms, including the main program, I use a picturebox (a double buffered picturebox) for the background image and then draw everything on it by hand. Whenever I load the form from the dll and show it, I get a weird flicker. It looks like it is the previously used double buffer. Is there any way to clear the background double buffer before the flicker? Or am I going in the wrong direction?
