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").
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
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.
View 2 RepliesI'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:

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).
Im wanting to use a textbox for the entry of Decimal figures (currency). Is there any way I can have it so if a user does not put a decimal figure (ie 15 instead of 15.00) it will put it on.
I tried a masked textbox, but that means i have to set the maximum number of digits before the decimal too which is no good.

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.

i'm looking for a VB code to format integer into 5 digits and then after that auto increments like (00001 , 00002, 00003) And they are used in a text box field.
Scenario Example : When the user clicks on Add New Record. The empty id text box field will automatically insert a number 00001 on the textbox and if there user wants to add another record the number goes 00002 and so on.
For some reason I can't figure this out. Here's my code. colorTextbox.Text =Format(Hex(ColorBox.Color.G), "00")What I want it to do is format the Green Hex number to be "00" instead of just "0" when the color is something like blackhis has proven to be very stressful and this Format command makes no sense to me anymore (worked differently in 2005).For one, whatever I put in the quotes ("00") is what comes out in the text box. Butaccording to the command parameters, "00" should be the format, not the actual text! So then I tried any string format I could think of (## etc.) along with switching the order and I STILL can't figure this out.
