At the end of a calculation Pweight stores a number, I need to format this number so that it only shows to 2 decimal places.. I have tried this:
[Code]...
This actually seems to make it miss calculate, so I've put it back to Pweight.ToString() and left it at that but I get around 12 decimal places.
I have designed a unit converter that converts between different units. The value and unit to be converted from are entered in the first text box, for example "1 km" and the unit to be converted to is entered in the second text box. Then after pressing the calculate button, the new value will be displayed in the second text box as the output. By default the output will be specified to two decimal places. However, if the input has any number of decimal places, for example "1.045 km" the output should be displayed to the same decimal place, in this case 3.Displaying the output to two decimal places was easy enough to figure out, I just used:
FormatNumber(finalValue, 2)
But I'm completely stuck on the other part however and I'm wondering if anyone here has any suggestions. I thought about doing something like this:

I'm a noob, so please bear with me. I'm working with VB in Visual Studio 2008. I have an application that displays dollar amounts. With the application installed on my desktop all of the dollar values display with 2 decimal places. However, after moving the application to the server and executing from there, trailing zeroes after the decimal point are lost.
For example - 7.00 displays as 7 - 10.60 displays as 10.6 I'm guessing there's an options file somewhere that determines how these numbers are displaying but I have no idea what that file might be.
Can someone tell me how to get both digits following the decimal point to display all of the time?
I'm fairly certain I'm missing the obvious, but I'm trying to force a datagridview cell to format the contents of a cell to two decimal places when the value is changed e.g. the user enters 20 in a cell and it's formatted to 20.00 when the cell is moved away from.

View 1 RepliesProblem: Using the sub routing below, when adding a value to another value the results eventually change from 2-decimal places to multiple decimal places.Basically, the amount stored should always only be 2 decimal places, because the values passed in are always 2 decimal places. Output from calling the sub routine multiple times.
Running total = 329430.75
New Withheld Amount = 710.79
Running total = 330141.54

As a workaround, I have a new routine that uses a custom round function to properly store only 2 decimal places - as the VB round function does not perform the type of rounding desired.I understand that we are removing the value from the dictionary and adding it back..
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
How would I go about rounding up decimal numbers to the nearest 2 decimal places? For example $7.0000032 would be $7.01 In theory, VB would make it $7.00 but if it is > $7.00, I want it to reflect that to the nearest penny... so $3.0000001 would be $3.01

Using Visual Studio I'm using TextRange processing a word at a time, parsing for figures and minus values etc. All of which works. However I have to honour the original number of decimal places in the figures, even though they may be 0's.ie -1219.0 and 1219.00 are both valid inputs the valid outputs would be(1,219.0) and 1,219.00, I can't just use tostring and stamp all of them as "N2" etc).I have to format including retaining the trailing 0 if necessary.I can use "#,##0.######" but that removes trailing 0's... ie both above example would be changed to 1,219 pos or neg.

My computing teacher challenged me to write a console program in Visual Basic.NET which would calculate π, AKA Pi, to 14 decimal places. I contemplated various algorithms, then settled for a variant of Leibniz's series which would converge rapidly whilst being simple to implement.After about 30 minutes or so of programming I had finished my program which could generate the first 14 decimal places of π in a mere 27 iterations, below is the source code:
[Code]...
However, to my dismay, I soon discovered that this was all my program was capable of because of the IEEE specifications for numbers, although I've heard of people generating π to thousands of decimal places using unmodified Personal Computers so if you could tell me how I should modify my code to work around this to generate say 500 more decimal places.

correct syntax to format decimals. I want 2 decimal places even if the result is an even number i.e. I want 40 to show as 40.00 and 40.6666667 to show as 40.67.
View 8 RepliesI am making a simple unit converter, and wanted the user to specify the number of decimal places to be displayed for the results.
The user selects which conversion they want to perform from another combo box, and I have a select case to decide the calculation needed. Eg.
Select Case cboUnitType.SelectedIndex
Case 0 'grams to ounces
lcUnit2 = lcUnit1 * CSng(0.00220462262)
