Forms :: Currency Converting A String Value To Decimal For Calculation?
Jun 7, 2011
I've searched for the solution for this however 'answers'i've found have perhaps been a little more than I've needed. basically i have 2 textboxes on my form, 'textbox1' is populated by a value from a database, say.. 200.00 on form load. 'textbox2' needs to accept a users value (say 50.00) and then add/subtract that from the value in 'textbox1' when the form's refreshed/submitted/whatever
whats the syntax involved in this process, i've seen efforts involving parse, 'Cint' etc but need to check there isn't some ridiculously easy way of doing this..
I m using a reportviewer in vs2008 with vb. I have a database field(datatype decimal) on my reportviewer. I added a textbox from toolbox into the reportviewer. Now i want to show currency text into textbox equivalent to that database field value. In short i want to convert 155.75 into "one hunded fifty five dollars and seventy five cents". Here 155.75 is decimal value from database field and one hunded fifty five dollars and seventy five cents" the converted textbox value. I have a private function in my module for conversion. but i m not getting idea how to implement that function on reportviewer or how to call that function to convert as i want.
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?
I am struggling to get this to output calculations correctly. Have I properly made my conversions between decimal,string and so forth. Is that the only reason that a calculation would not produce the right result or is there another reason? I have negative total results for output when they should be positive.
Dim decAmount As Decimal Dim decInterestRate As Decimal Dim mdecFutureValue As Decimal
First: Ok so I'm trying to do a project in my beginning VB .Net class. We are supposed to be taking information from 5 different sections of a form and store them into an array and then call upon them later. We have Name, Address, City,State, and Zip. How would I go about saving the information into an array and then calling upon it later through File IO?
Second: I'm having a problem converting my string into a decimal. Whenever I calculate the price of the order I get 3-4 decimal places. Here is a little snippet of my code for the this:
[code]...
I have dimmed pricewithout tax as a decimal and stateselect as a string. The stateselect is based off a drop down list.
I'm sure this is simple to do but I'm struggling to get this work, I've tried using convert.tostring, decimal.tostring, ctype(object, type) and cstr(object) but without success. I guess I'm trying to change the decial object to a string object and then assign it a value of empty string but always get type mismatch error.[code]
As the title says I have a form with many databound textboxes. some of these boxes have data in them and some are empty. I need to add them altogether, so far all of the conversion methods I have tried err out when they run into an empty string, except Val, but then Val won't handle the string with a $ in it. I've tried decimal.parse which handles the $ but not the empty string. So I seem to be in circle that I can't get out of.
After converting all degrees-->decimal, and decimal-->hours, how can i use Tan, Cos and Sin formula in vb.net? I want the user must enter an input (which it is a coordinat-->i already convert the degrees-->decimal value as suggested by stanav and paul.
The questions like this (i only calculate on paper but dont know how to implement in code):
Input user need to enter: -latitude local (e.g. 1.4875) -longitude local (e.g. 103.3883333)
[URL]. I need to convert TAX to currency before it prints. How do I go about doing this? The current code doesn't work for TAX but does for the incometxtbox.text.
i am using DateTimePicker control....my code is TextBox2.text=DateTimePicker1.Text.......while changing it correctly dispaly the selected date in textbox......the problem is i want to store the date in my database of field datetime type........when i click the add button it shows "Syntax Error Converting DateTime from String"
I am working on a simple Point of Sale Program for my Intro to Visual Basic class. I am trying to pull a substring with a decimal point (ex 0009.50) from the string I get from my readline and turn it into a decimal value for calculating money values. Something is wrong with they way that I am converting and I can't find how to to it write in my book.
Private Sub addButton_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles addButton.Click Dim currentLine As String = String.Empty
i am using that code i have one datagridview and datagridview cell 3 value is 7
Dim n As Integer For a = 0 To DataGridView1.Rows.Count - 1 If DataGridView1.Rows(a).Cells(0).Value = True Then n = DataGridView1.Rows(a).Cells(3).Value
[code]....
the above code answer is 4 but i want the answer like that 3.5
I'm working on an app and in the textbox field I would like to be able to convert anytime a user would type .36 it would actually change and display 0.36, mainly I want it on the key press of the period just add a zero before it, and I need this to happen on the keydown event.. anyone have any ideas for me on how to do this? This is all I know so far...[code] One last smidget of problem too, I only want this to happen when the user types . in the beginning not if he types 4.22 with the period being after a digit.
I have a FormView from a Data Source that is getting some fields that are stored as Decimals in the SQL Database.
I am grabbing the field from the FormView as such:
Dim AvgTicketL As Label = CType(frmMerchantProfile.FindControl("F10Label"), Label)
I need to take this value, and convert it to an Integer, then send it along to an API. I have the API Calls done, tested and working, but I'm getting an error as when it is getting this value, the API is returning "Must be an Integer" error.
What I have tried so far:
Dim AvgTicketL As Label = CType(frmMerchantProfile.FindControl("F10Label"), Label) Dim AvgTicket1 As Integer AvgTicket1 = Double.Parse(AvgTicket.Text) Do something with AvgTicket1
I have also attempted to Round the Value, then convert it and call it - no luck.
Checking the value of AvgTicket1 (Writing it out to a Label or Response.Write) shows "100", where the database value was 100.00. But the API is still getting 100.00, apparently. Any other conversion method that I've attempted states errors that the Label cannot be converted to Integer.
What are some methods I can successfully convert this value to an integer from a label?
I was given a school project in which I have to make a program that converts numbers between binary,decimal,octal and hexadecimal systems. I have figured out how to make a function to convert binary number to decimal number [code]With this code,a user can enter a number that isn't binary,and program will calculate it. How can I make that program doesn't calculate those numbers or doesn't accept anything else than 0 or 1? This is needed for other cases like octal and hexadecimal system.
I am working on a simple asp.net vb.net code behind page.I need to accept input from an asp textbox control when the user clicks the 'calcButton'. I've set up an event handler for the click:[code]I looked at the msdn page and it says to use ToDecimal.
This program, it reads in a file, and displays it in hexadecimal, like using a hex editor. It then goes to compare the strings and whatnot, and display certain values. During the program, there is a time where I need to display a set of offsets as decimal because that is the way that it is shown regularly.
Taking the two specific offsets and displaying them in hex ends up giving me something like "3039" or "000A", which should respectively convert to 12345 or 00010. This "ID" that I am converting, can be 00000 to 65535, which in hex is 0000 to FFFF. The current method I was given only works if the value is less than 512 or something like that.
How would I convert the two individual byte values (in hex) to a decimal value representing the concatenated hex values? For example, if I have the
Dim byte1 As Byte = &H99 Dim byte2 As Byte = &H99
' I want the decimal representation of the hex value "9999" ' (byte1.ToString + byte2.ToString) which should be "39321" Currently I use the following code:
Dim decVal as integer decVal = Val("&H" + Hex$(byte1).ToString + Hex$(byte2).ToString)
However, when I use this, the value (decVal) comes out to "-26215"
I wanne make a windows form application. Its a currency converter that can convert EUROS to belgium franks,german marks and the coins off Nederland.it has to be possibel to round the result to zero decimal. I already made the design with the radiobuttons and labels. But I dont know how to make it work. Its also for a assignment.
I am working on a VB application in Visual Studio 2005. I have a number of fields where the user needs to enter currency amounts. I am using a MaskedTextBox with the following currency mask. msktxtAssessedVal.Mask = "$ #######.99"
The problem that I am having is that when the users type in the value, the cursor always starts at the leftmost position and appears to force that many digits. The typical data values can vary anywhere between 9,999,999.99 and 20,000.00. If the users do NOT have a value that has 7 digits left of the decimal point, they need to move the cursor to the correct position before they start typing in the value. These users are used to quickly typing in their data, then tabbing to the next field so the current behavior is not acceptable.
Does anyone know if there is a way for the maskedtextbox or any text control to detect where the user types the decimal and format the data accordingly?
this is my code in VB.NET 2008 and it works as the result, i can input starts from 1.00 until 99.99
but i need more than this i want the textbox automatic validate the input as i typed in the textbox
example: i typed "1000" then the textbox will write "1,000" example: i typed "10000.99" then the textbox will write "10,000.99" nb: it has to disabled from typing ","
I need to give comma(,) for every thousends. So I used DataFormatString="${0:#,#}". It is working fine. But when value is 0. It is showing $00. I just want to show only $0.
