View 7 RepliesWhat 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
So I need a format string to pass to String.Format that would "move" the decimal point.I can't perform any math operations before doing the String.Format, so it has to work right off the bat.Basically I'm emulating a formatting string from a proprietary server. In it if I say:
"MR2"
for the value:
12345
The result is:
123.45
I'm close with this, but it's not spot on:
String.Format("{0:#0.##}", 12345)
an extra, but not necessary... there is also MR2Z, which moves the decimal 2 left, but if the value is 0 "" is returned.
I have a field that I display via: String.Format({0:c},amount) This produces the string "$28.28" However, when I try to convert back to a decimal amount, I get an incorrect format exception: amount = Decimal.Parse(amount.Text, NumberStyles.Currency) I also tried it with NumberStyles.AllowCurrencySymbol with the same results. I verified that the value in amount.Text is "$28.28". Am I missing something? Shouldn't these two operations use the same currency symbol and formats?
View 2 RepliesI have below digits. I want to show one digit after to decimal. How to format it?
2.85

1.99
I was using ("{0:0.0}". But data showing like
2.9 //It should be 2.8
2.0 //It should be 2
2.0 //It should be 1.9
format a decimal value to a string with a single digit after the comma/dot and leading spaces for values less than 100?For example, a decimal value of 12.3456 should be output as " 12.3" with single leading space. 10.011 would be " 10.0". 123.123 is "123.1" I'm looking for a solution, that works with standard/custom string formatting, i.e.
decimal value = 12.345456;
Console.Write("{0:magic}", value); // 'magic' would be a fancy pattern.
I have a program reporting 6.0054434322 gb Free on my machine.
Dim gigabytesC As String = (GetHDDFreeSpace(letterC) / 1024 / 1024 / 1024) & " gb"
I use string.format to try to chop off unwanted floating point numbers
Dim s As String
s = String.Format("{0:n3}", gigabytesC)
But.. The above line does not work.
Desired Result: s = 6.005 gb
Also how would I format totalCost (a string) to round to two decimal places?
lblTotalCost.Text = "The cost of your journey for " + sumNoTickets + " people, is: + totalCost
I got a list of strings. And I want to check for every string in there. Sometimes, a string can have the suffix _anim(X) where X is an integer. If such string has that kind of suffix, I need to check for all other strings that have the same "base" (the base being the part without suffix) and finally group such strings and send them to my function.[code]...
View 1 RepliesI realize the code listed below, whose serial port using string formatting which I inherited is complicated. It formats a Date obtained from a DatePicker control into a "yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss" string format to send to a hardware device to be stored via Serial Port retrieves the date from the device and displays to user What I'm trying to do is port the code for use in a Socket rather than Serial Port which wants a Byte Arrray of the same Date Time string variable. I can't figure out how to encode and convert to Bytes the string value used in the Serial Port version. The evolution of the process is listed from top to bottom.

Alright so, I've got most of a program I am doing finished, but I'm having a problem at the end. The user enters a SKU (XXX-XX-XXX) and hits search, and it will search two excel sheets and output the quantity of both. The first sheet works perfectly, however the second it can have multiple instances of the SKU, and I need it to locate the one that says "XXX-XX-XXX Total" and output the quantity of that one, but I cannot seem to get adding the "total" suffix right, as it constantly says SKU not found. I've made sure it's parsing it correctly by outputing each parsed field into a msgbox,

The end result is baffling me here are 2 examples when I debug
Mine: 640.1 * 49 = 31364.9
Debugger: 640.1 * 49 = 31360 ( not right needs to show the correct decimal )
Mine: .775 * 3 = 2.325
Debugger: .775 * 3 = 2.325 ( shows it perfectly???)
I'm trying to do this division and the result to be displayed on a eight decimal number.
Dim r1 As Integer
Dim r2 As Double
r1 = Val(TextBox16.Text)
r2 = r1 / 60
TextBox18.Text = FormatNumber(r2, 8)
The value or R1 on this case is 273.4 but it varies according with the result obtained so I can not allocate a constant number to r1. The problem is the result that I am getting is 4,55000000 instead of 4.5566666

I have a function that is getting passed a String and a DataRow.The String is a custom formatter. The idea is to do this
String.Format(passed_in_String, DataRow("ColumnINeed"))
The reason this is being done is at this point we have no idea what the column contains.However, if the formatter is "{0:MM/dd/yyyy}" and the DataRow("ColumnINeed") is an integer containing 42, String.Format is returning: MM/dd/yyyy In this situation I need it to throw an exception instead of returning nonsense.Is there anyway to make String.Format throw an exception if the object does not match what the format string is expecting?

I'm using Visual Basic .Net 2010 Express.I know, for example, that the Visual Basic ( IEEE 754 ) Internal bit-by-bit Double Format is: Bit 63 = Sign, Bits 62-52 = 11-bit Exponent, and Bits 51-0 = 52-bit Fractional Significand.But, I can't seem to find any documentation on the Internal bit-by-bit Decimal Format.There also don't seem to be any workable mechanisms for accessing the bit structure or copying the bits to another Format for internal processing and returning the result to the Decimal Format.[code]to separate the ULongVariable into bytes for convenient manipulation. A similar reverse process allows moving the manipulated bits back into the Signed Long Variable.But, methods like << and >> are not extendable to Decimals per the Microsoft Documentation ( and I tried them anyway, and confirmed that they don't work ). Nor does there appear to be any way to copy the 128-bit Decimal into two 64-bit Unsigned Long Variables, or vice-versa.
I could, of course, forgo the use of Decimals and define my own MDJDecimal consisting of two ULongs, but that seems a bit of an overkill, and its methods would likely incur significant development time, and would probably also be rather excessively slow and cumbersome.I know I could write a workable routine in Visual C++ .Net using the Unmanaged Native Assembler, but I don't know enough about how to integrate that with Visual Basic .Net code, and I don't want to irrevocably tie what I'm developing to the Intel platform.I might also be able to write it in Managed Visual C++ .Net, but, again, I don't know enough about how to integrate that with Visual Basic .Net.
I have an internal process that requires data in a very specific format. Nothing I can do about that. So in my VB.NET program I am trying to output a number with a terminating decimal and nothing after it. I tried
swOut.WriteLine("{0,10:###0.}", var)
But the output is a whole number

I'm trying to get my decimals to display with four decimal places. The DB rounds my number to 4 decimal places, but it returns the number with trailing 0s (due to the decimal precision of the field), so something like 9.45670000.[code]...
How do I format my decimal, so that the number of decimal places is always four?
