Is there a rule of thumb used to set the character width of a zone?
For example:
Dim fmtstr As String = "{0,-10}{1,12}{2,14}{3,12}"
lstcolleges.Items.Clear()
lstcolleges.Items.Add(String.Format(fmtstr, "College", "enrollment", "endowment", "public ss"))
This will align the text nicely into a list box. How do I determine how to set the character width?
Ex) Dim fmtstr as string="{0,15}{1,10}{2,8}" if I understand correctly the leftmost number is the zone number and the number to the right is the character width?

View 1 RepliesI am trying to convert CST to 3 different times zones 9.5 ---Afgan and 5----UTC. I Have got this to work 3 ways now But i need it in "HHmm" format with no : currently going from value to text to string is the only way i can get the look i want. I need to either Add +5 to the write string (assuming that will still stay in 24 format if that's done) or i need a solid way to convert to HHmm without the coloHeres what i got,
oonwH = Convert.ToDateTime(oonwHr.Value)
oonwM = Convert.ToDateTime(oonwmin.Value)

How is it posible to align each "Column", so that, no matter the size of each value, the columns line up perfectly under each other. I'm using a listbox for the output, I thought I had an understanding of this but apparently I don't. I am using a fixed width font and the screenshot shows my results. I have done this before but not in awhile.how to set up the zones. I know the minus sign in front will left justify the column results but I'm having trouble with the other columns.

I'm having trouble lining up data from a file with their respectable columns in a list box. I am using print zones to space out data evenly, but when i run the program the output is still messy. So I need lining up columns properly together. As of now, the first 2 list box items line up with each other perfectly, the data i am looping through to add to list box is not lining up correctly. I have changed my zones several times, but still no luck.
A chunk of my code (some) :

I have been searching for a way to format output using writeline/write (streamwriter)using RTF tags and wondering if there is a syntax for this, if it exists. I have not been able to find a resource which clearly explains how to "pretty" up output sent to a file.
The reason why I am asking is because I want to "print" results from my program into a file that, at the very least, would be centered, tabbed and even bolded where possible without requiring the user to go and futz with it. I think I saw that Crystal Reports won't work with VB 2010 Express and, quite frankly, just want to create a file with output.

So I'm attempting to get three variable to print in a string, but I can't figure out how to make the Concat or Join commands to work properly.

Str2 = NewBalanceDecimal.ToString("C")

I would like to have my output in columns, and the numbers in two digit after the decimal.
I am writing a data validation app where the app asks the user for input like give me a number of double type: and hopefully the user will comply.
But the app will test some validation rules and then:
1) if the user simply pressed enter the app will tell the user all sorts of reasons why the input was rejected. And that part should look like a table with columns for the entry, if it passed true, otherwise false and then the reason line empty input. Or this number is a string.
How to format numbers in VB.Net. All I want is properly inserted commas in my final output. Such as:
lvwItem.SubItems.AddRange(New String() {ConvertToMegabytes(CULng(LogicalDrive.TotalSize)).ToString})
I have three functions which I use to convert various numbers to MB GB and TB. I would like to have the final output number be properly formatted with commas as necessary.
Private Function ConvertToMegabytes(lngbytes As ULong) As String
Return (CDec(lngbytes) / 1024D / 1024D).ToString("F1") & " MB"
End Function
Private Function ConvertToGigabytes(lngbytes As ULong) As String
Return (CDec(lngbytes) / 1024D / 1024D / 1024D).ToString("F1") & " GB"
End Function
Private Function ConvertToTerabytes(lngbytes As ULong) As String
Return (CDec(lngbytes) / 1024D / 1024D / 1024D / 1024D).ToString("F1") & " TB"
End Function

View 5 RepliesI have some VB .NET software that interfaces to a load of old (but sound) COM objects. The VB provides a GUI for the COM objects, part of which consists of setting various options on the COM objects - several of which relate to string formatting.I have a simple pair of VB .NET functions that convert basic %f, %d, %g formats to/from .NET equivalents using a large select case covering specific common strings, but they don't cover all formats.[code]Before I start diving in and making it more versatile with some parsing, does anyone know of a class (eg VB or C# .NET) that provides a decent ready-made implementation? Or perhaps some regexp wizadry could be used?

I have trying to complete an assignment where I have to convert a string from user input to all different US time zones and then display them. At first I tried doing this just by using math but it seemed extremely inefficient and messy so I was told to use the DateTime function which seems easier with the exception of one thing - I have found absolutely no examples of converting time to different time zones. I was able to take the string and convert it to UTC time thinking it would make it easier but now I don't know how to convert them to PST, EST, MST, or CST. I included the function below:

While I understand there are properties of MailItem that would allow one to programmatically create a formatted email, I would prefer the ability to copy the body of an email that is already formatted to my liking (bolding, italicizing, embedded pictures/tables, set margins, etc.) copy and paste it to a newly composed email such that this formatting is preserved.

I just had a quick question about formating in currency in Visual Basic 2010 express. I already understand how to get it to work during runtime using the FormatCurrency feature, but I am wondering if there is a method to do it so that the user's input becomes currency instantly? (basically, is there a way to make the textbox always display as currency, rather than as a weird decimal?)
