Replacing The Format Currency To The To.String Methods?
Feb 16, 2009
I am practicing for my next semester, trying to get ahead in VB.Net, so I got a library book and I am attempting the book exercises, in this exercise I need to replace the currency format to the To.String format, but everythiing I try doesnt work, and everything I read online just confuses me more, can anyone shed light on why my code is not outputting my discount amount and my total amount?
Dim subtotal As Decimal = Decimal.Parse(txtSubtotal.Text)
Dim discountPercent As Decimal = 0.25D
Dim discountAmount As Decimal = Math.Round(subtotal * discountPercent, 2)
Dim invoiceTotal As Decimal = Math.Round(subtotal - discountAmount, 2)
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 "$28.28". Am I missing something? Shouldn't these two operations use the same currency symbol and formats?
I need to give comma(,) for every thousends. So I used DataFormatString="${0:#,#}". It is working fine. But when value is 0. It is showing $00. I just want to show only $0.
will convert a string containing a decimal value to a nicely formatted currency value. Is there anyway to do this without first converting the string value to a decimal?
I'm creating a UDF in VB.NET that sometimes works with currency, which I would need to use the Decimal format in VB. But sometimes I working with time or just a plain double. What methods are out their for determining how I should add the values up, with a decimal or double? I prefer not to have excel return the actual range for simplicity sake but will do if I need to determine if it is formatted as currency.
I have been looking and I bet not in the right places or ways but I have a slight issue with formatting a label.I have 7 If statements that look the same except for the math.So, is there a way to format all the labels to currency?
This is my code: Private Sub cmdHitung_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles cmdHitung.Click Dim tempBASIC As String If strChrDec = "." Then strFormatDec = "#,##0.00;(#,##0.00)" formatSAVE = "############0.#0" [Code] ..... Example: I input 150000, But result 60.69364. Not I want. I want to 60.693,64.
Does anyone know how to set the maskedtextbox to a currency format that actually works? I have set the mask to $999,999.00 but the user input looks like this 120,0 instead of this 12.00. It seems like the maskedtextbox would be able to handle this type of input without using the keypress events to alter the text.
I am in the process of building an application in Visual Studio 2008/Visual Basic that has a datagrid. One field of the datagrid needs to be formatted as currency and calculate a total for that column. I have the following that is supposed to give the total cost: [Code] I understand the first two lines, since itconnects the DB to the app. The problem I have is that the following lines and how/where I am supposed to handle them. The "DtGrdVwlAlbums.RowCount() - 1" has a line underneath it and is telling me that it is not declared. I do not know what it is supposed to be declared as, and what it connects/relates to.
What is the best method to take a string from a textbox and verify that it is completely numeric (aside from the . ) and that it only has 2 digits after the decimal?
I have some columns of my datagridview formatted as currency, set up in the designer. But after entering data, the values are not automatically formatted. Is there a setting I haven't found? Or is there code I can place in the cellvalidated event to get the cells to format properly?
On a form I have a listbox and a textbox bound to the same dataset. When I click an item on the listbox the information changes on the textbox accordingly. The textbox is bound to a currency value. I have been using the following string to format it.PriceTextBox.Text = result.ToString("C")It works but I am having problem figuring where to put this. I have one under Validating event of the textbox which works fine when the user is entered in the text box.The problem comes when the form first load the Listbox and the first value is display in the text box it is not formatted. I have to select another item on the list before the textbox format works.
i'm having a problem with a column in my datagrid. Basically i'm getting the data from a database table and putting it into a datagrid. Then i've added an extra column to add up the 2 prices from the table.
I can do that fine, but the problem is that it only shows the total price to the nearest pound.
This is the bit of code that adds up the 2 columns
I need to create a control for input a currecncies to a field. I'm planning to use a Textbox.
This is the format of the text box for currencies:
"XXXXXXXX.XX"
the dot "." must be fixed in the textbox and it should be loaded with the textbox. Furthermroe i have plans to code eachtime a user enters a number it should print the numbers from Right ot left.
eg: When user enters Number 1234.34
When the user enter these number they should display them as:
when user enters 1
0000.01
when the user enters 2:
0000.12
when the user enter 3:0001.23
When the user enters 4:
0012.34
When the user enters 3:0123.43
When the user enters 4:(after entering all digits in the number)1234.34
Could any one give a couple of ideas how to creat these kind of boxes?
I was thinking about creating a custom control (a Textbox) but still i need to have a the above format in the textbox!
How can I get this to display in currency format. Righ now it's coming out with the right math but only carrying one decimal place and I get no dollar sign.[code]
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've got an issue with a program I am writing. The specific issue is replacing characters in a parent string by finding, and matching, specific characters within it that are parsed from an external xml file. It's for a chat-like client.Here's the 2 classes I am using to pull the emote strings, titles, and id from external XML:
Imports System.Text.RegularExpressions Imports System.Xml.Serialization Public Class emote
