In my app I am making a bunch of calculations and then putting them in a multi-line text box. I need the values to be in currency and I would also like to have them in bold text. I can format it to currency, but how do I set the currency value to bold text?Below is a sample of what I have.
resultTextBox.Text = _
(We think your costs will be " & String.Format("{0:C}", yourCost) & _
"." )

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?

View 1 RepliesI am donig some FindReplace in my app and I wanted to know if there was a way to bold the text that i'm "replacing".I've found other posts on Bolding text in a RichTextBox through a While loop but I wanted to do this in a string and the .Find is not an option for Strings.Here's my code sample:
Code:
FormatData = Replace(FormatData, "TEST" , "THIS SHOULD BE BOLD")
I'm adding text string into a list box together with data retrieved from text box, and I wanna bold that text but really don't have any idea how to do so.
E.g. listProducts.Items.Add("Product Name - " & textProdName.text)
I just wanna bold that first bit of text in the quotes.
I have a access database with several pieces of information. I am using Visual basic to take the info and put it into order in a table. the code i have is this :
Private Sub Form_Open(Cancel As Integer)
Me.OrderByOn = True
Me.OrderBy = "date, arm_no"
the field Arm_No comes back a number 1-4. Arm_No is a field that is in the database. To make the table easier to read id like to bold the arm_no that come back 1 and 3.
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.
however, i'm copying this directly from the book in its example format and still getting an error.

View 5 RepliesI want to format the Timespan to have format like this 49 hr 34 mn 20 sec

It formats the Timespan to this format 49:34:20. How can I add hr mn sec to the String.Format above? or there's another easy way?

View 4 RepliesI 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?
