View 1 RepliesC# - String Format Not Working
May 26, 2010I am trying to display a number, stored in a dataset as a string, as a phone number. I have a label that Binds to a value but doesn't display the format that I passed as an arg:
<asp:Label ID="lbl005108002" runat="server" Text='<%# DataBinder.Eval(Container.DataItem, "phone number", "{0:(###) ###-####}") %>'></asp:Label>
As a test I tried to pass the formated string into the dataitem but that didn't work either. Is there something else I need to do in order to use this function?
m_Row("phone number") = String.Format("{0:(###) ###-####}", value)
The value displays in both cases as: 04152543926

IDE :: Format Document And Pretty Listing Not Working?

View 1 RepliesFormat Function Analog In .NET
Jan 22, 2010There is String.Format function that is referred to in the documentation as the analog for Format function from VB6. There's also Format function from VisualBasic namespace that is provided for compatibility and basically has same powers as String.Format.Indeed, those two format dates and numbers.But VB6's function was also able to format strings:[code]String.Format is not able to do that, as far as I'm concerned, nor is the new Format. I also couldn't find any mention in the compatibility Format documentation that certain parts of VB6 functionality is lost, seems like the feature was deprecated "silently."Is there anything in the framework that can do this type of formatting?
View 5 RepliesFormat Function Anomaly ?
Dec 28, 2010The VB format() function has a bug in it that has existed for nearly 20 years! One would do this if communicating with devices that use fixed length HEX strings.
Ex: Something = Format(Hex(n), 00)
Note that the expected results occur when n = 0 to 255 EXCEPT when n=42 ... "00" is returned not "2A"! Truly an outright bug! VB up to and including .NET 2005 does this.
Testing in .NET 2010, it appears that now when a string is the passed value parameter, just the format string is echoed back.Not really fixed but functionality removed sometime between 2005 and 2010 versions.
Knowing this, I simply use my own wrapper function in all VB versions to do the formatting:
Something = PadLeftZeros( Hex(n), 2 )
Private Function PadLeftZeros(s As String, ByVal length As Integer) As String
' dumb function
To pad leading zeros to number string. Could be done many ways, this is just one primitive one.
Dim n As Integer
n = Len(s)
If n = length Then

View 4 RepliesUsing SQL Function To Format Account Info?
Oct 3, 2011I have a SQL function that I am calling in my VB.Net code within a display function. The SQL function will format my account data to include the following results form a Table. The table data: "001000011121" (this is the type of structure the data has before formatted)
So the data table data and vb Properties would be called Myaccount, HerAccount, ThisAccount. Once the data is pulled and then formatted in the VB.net code it will result into a GridDisplay as as: "001.00.001.1121"
The way I have my Public Function in my code is:
Public Funcion GetDisplay(_
ByVal dbBass as DataProvider_
,ByVal pps AS TMGDatarequestParms_
,By filter As IFilter_
) As Ilist
Dim strobe As String = CType(parms.OptionalParameters, DataProvider).Database
Dim sql As BiGSqlBuilder(TABLE)
sql.Select = String.Format("ID, [{0}].dbo.GLForamtAcct(Myaccount) AS [Myaccount], [{0}].dbo.GLFormatAccount(HerAccount) AS [HerAccount], [{0}].dbo.GLFormatAccount(ThisAccount) AS [ThisAccount]", strobe)
I left out some of the return code since not necessary. The only thing I'm concerned is how to format the SQL within the VB.net Code above.

View 2 RepliesFunction Which Validates A Masked Exit Box Date Format
Jan 6, 2009I have wrote a function which validates a masked exit box date format. I have entered into the Mask property 00/00/0000 which on screen translates to __/__/____, great. If I get an invalid date I want to clear the content and reset the focus back giving a message box warning. [code]It all seems to work until I then try to enter a new date. The first number a press seems to push the mask characters to the right and then the rest works. So if I entered 01/01/2009 I end up with _1/01/2009.

View 6 RepliesVS 2008 - Format / Year And DateTime Function Not Recognized
Dec 3, 2009I recently moved a webservice VB.net project from VS 2005 to VS 2008 and now a conversion I use to create a unique receipt number is no longer working.
The Format() function which is supposedly a Visual basic function gives the error:
'Format' is a type and cannot be used as an expression.
The Year() Function which is also a VB function gives the error:
Name 'Year' is not declared.
The Datetime() Function which is also a VB function gives the error:
'DateTime' is a type and cannot be used as an expression.
The actual code statement remains unchanged between the two web services but VS2005 compiles and VS2008 does not.

+ Format(DateTime("d", CDate("01/01/" _

View 12 RepliesFunction Key Form Combo Not Working?
Aug 10, 2010I have a form that displays a graph. From the appropriate toobar button click frmGraph.show is called and it works. But when I call it from the assigned F6 function key the graph hardly ever displays. Sometimes it does display properly, sometime it flickers a one time display of the graph then it's gone, but mostly the form just draws the background but no graph. In debugging this i discoverd that putting a message box just before the call to frmGraph.show the graph will display properly everytime after i click ok in the messagebox. Anyone know how to cure this or at least a workaround that doesn't involve displaying the messagebox? This is the code with the messagebox("here") just above the call.
