VS 2005 - Handling Decimal Type Columns In SQL Server
Mar 17, 2009
Decimal type columns have Precision and Scale where the length of the integral part of the decimal would be Precision - Scale, if the Precision is 4 and the Scale is 2 then the integral part can only contain 2 digits (4-2). As such I will probably need a control that I could set how much it should accept on its integral part. In that regard I am not sure which control is best for such cases, I could try to make a usercontrol that will handle that but is there any other control out there that I could utilize for this purpose, intrinsic to .Net or a custom control out there? I could also just validate the data keyed-in but the above solution seem to be more user-friendly. Curiously, when databinding such Decimal type columns, how is it handled when the specified integral part exceeds the allowable size (Precision minus Scale)?

I have a xml node, which can be shown in immediate window as
?Me.SelectSingleNode("./FloatAmount").InnerText
"100.00"
?typename(Me.SelectSingleNode("./FloatAmount").InnerText)
"String"
However, I want to return a decimal value.
?cdec(Me.SelectSingleNode("./FloatAmount").InnerText)
Run-time exception thrown : System.InvalidCastException - Conversion from string "100.00" to type 'Decimal' is not valid.

Anyone has a quick and dirty sample coding to making this work? Currently, I have server, client with Interface object as intermediate object between the 2. If I declare events in the Interface, then Dim object on client side with "WithEvents", I'll get error when I reach this line:
vb
serverObj = CType(Activator.GetObject(GetType(InterfaceObj), szURI), GetType(InterfaceObj)
Having headaches looking for solutions.

I have put my business logic in a partial class as suggested in best practices. One of the conditions is that one of four fields of a row has have a value. Setting the errorprovider has no problems when creating a new row in the new row event. All the textboxes in the form show the error condition.
Dim ErrorString As String = "A value is needed for at least one of the " & vbCrLf & "Gallon, Fuel, Oil, or Misc fields"
e.Row.SetColumnError("Gallons", ErrorString)[code]....
The logic that sets them back to a no error condition though only sets the currently focused control in the form to no error. When the error is corrected.
MyFuelRow.SetColumnError("Gallons", "")
MyFuelRow.SetColumnError("FuelCost", "")[code]....
How can you reset multiple column errors at once?

I am pulling data from a local MSSQL database using a stored procedure, then send the data to a web service. Every part of the component works well except for a pesky problem will a DBNull being returned from the DataRow field, when I know that the field is not null and has valid data. The database and associated INSERT statements that add to this field are designed to not allow NULL entries. When I debug break the program on or right before the line that throws the error I see that the field has valid data for the current row.If I add a null check to the code (as below) the operation continues as normal:
Dim dataResultsTable = Me.myViewTableAdapter.GetData(int)
For Each myDataRow In dataResultsTable.Rows
If worker.CancellationPending Then
[code]....
Why is the read operation returning DBNull instead of the data in the database?
EDIT: Just to be clear, the operation does return the proper data, but the data is not being saved into the variable.

As a part time CAD drafter I commonly have to do scale conversions from many different scales.I am writing a scale converter that will allow me to enter the source scale (eg. 1/4" = 1'). Then it will provide an area to enter another number, like 3/4", and then produce that number in inches. In the case of 3/4" it would equal 36" or 3 feet. For now it would be fine if only gave me the answer in inches.How would I handle all the necessary fractions? Would I have to set up a bit of code that would convert the fractions to decimal?

I'm trying to detect if a value is a decimal type and insert it into a DB. If the value is a decimal, I want to continue with the inserting. If the value is not a decimal I want to insert "0" as a value to the DB.
For this I created a function seen below... What is wrong with it?
Function IfNotDeci(ByVal Arvo) As String
If Arvo is Decimal = True Then
Return Arvo
[Code]....
The problem is on the first "If". How to know if the value is a decimal?
(I need this code because my values are read from different excel-files that are not always correct. So if a human didn't write a decimal value to a cell, the program should not respond with an error, but just insert a "0".)

I'm setting up a basic TCP client/server system and I'm wondering how the back-and-forth communication should ideally work. In my specific situation, the client will have to submit login credentials, and make specific requests from the server (the server interacts with a remote database).Here is what I would THINK to do.. and I'm just looking from input from other devs.
SERVER: Wait for new connections
CLIENT: Connects to server
CLIENT: Once connected, send login credentials with an instruction code.
[code]....
And another scenario.. let's say the client wants to request a log of what's happened on the server recently (the text of a console application window).
CLIENT: Send request message to server for recent log
i.e. $REQ$,105
SERVER: If instruction = $REQ$ and request id = 105, get window text and send to client
i.e. $DATA$,105,<data here>
CLIENT: If instruction = $DATA$ and data id = 105, parse data and display to user
The data being requested could be plain text, or a .net datatable translated into XML, etc. It could be a variety of things.

I am attempting to convert a DBNull value to a decimal (0, 0.0, 0.00 etc).
My current code is If row.Item("Name of row") Is DBNull.Value Then NameOfRow = Convert.ToDecimal(0.0) End If When i run my app i pass in the row to convert. Every other datatype works/runs as expected except Decimal. It runs with the abbreviated code below:
For each row..in dataset.rows Object = row.table("Table").Item("Name of row")Next The Object.... line causes an error. The error is DBNull' to type 'Decimal' is not valid.... Ive tried many attempts to overcome this but cant get this to work. Could anyone guide me?

here is a very important matter to be corrected as soon as possible. generally,type double can display an answer correct to more than 20 decimal places. yes,it works fine until here except for exponential system. whenever i try to find a decimal raised to the power of a proper fraction, i get a correct answer but only upto 13 decimal places. that is not fair at all! it is important to get as high precision as possible. consider this example:-
[code...]
i want that number of correct decimal places or approximation,which a windows 7 calculator has. i believe that this is someway easy to get rid of. please support.it is important for programs like calculator,worksheets,databases,etc.

When I click on a header (Price) to sort the rows by that column, I get an error Object must be of type decimal.
I'm thinking that I'm encountering a new row without any values that's why this error is being generated.
I'm not sure how to intercept this error or fix it for that matter....

What's the deal with those 23 unused bits in the Decimal data type? You know, there's the 96-bit integer portion, then 16 unused bits, then 8 bits for the exponent (which can only be 0 through 28, so doesn't even use all 8 bits), then 7 more unused bits, then the sign bit [URL]...

I want to assign a Value to a Variable of Decimal Type to do a calculation, but when I enter the decimal value (a 28 digits to the right of the decimal point - very long numbers) it gets altered. I give below what I was doing:
Dim MyNumber As Decimal = 0.7777777777777777777777777774
But as soon as I finish typing the number, it becomes 0.77777777777777779 and appears as,
Dim MyNumber As Decimal = 0.77777777777777779
And, when the cursor is kept over the altered number it shows as "Double, Represents a Double - precision floating-point number." How can I get the value I wanted to stay without getting changed? I was able to get this long Decimal value as the result of a calculation and get that appears in a text box in the same program. Is there anything I should change in the "Visual Studio 2008" to get this ?

Please excuse the newbie question as I started learning VB last week . I wrote the following test code below to add two values entered in two textboxes and display it in another textbox. However I keep getting the exception. "Conversion from string "" to type 'Decimal' is not valid" with the code below and I cannot figure out why . I thought converting using 'CDec' resolves this issue ?

I am trying to insert a variable in Decimal type into an Access table. When I use "decimal" field with 0 digits after the decimal separator (,) my program works properly. However, when i use the field with 2 digits after the separator I get a "Data type mismatch in criteria expression." exception. This happens also when I try to update the table. The debugger shows me that my variables contain the right values but the update or insert command gives the error.

I have to display all the digits of 2^90. This is within the reach of the Decimal format which can display up to 2^96-1. The Decimal format stops displaying after the 15th digit.The real answer for 2^90 is : 12 379 400 392 853 802 274 899 124 224 (29 digits)
Here is what I do:
Dim a As Decimal = 2^90
TextBox1.Text = a

Im trying to set one variable equal to another but it says "No default member found for type 'Decimal'" what does that mean?Both the varuables are deciamls, one is a regular decimal that I declare in the sub and another is an array that I declare in the class. The line is:
tempx = xo(i)
this is in a for loop with i as the variable.

Is there such a thing as a type similar to a point, but contains a pair of decimals, or a pair of doubles, rather than integers? I searched the forums and google with no luck. I can't believe this has never come up before, I must have been using the wrong search terms.

my application has a data table, one of the column set as decimal type to store number, data is read from a text file and store into the data table, then display in a datagridview, I found when that number is only 1 digit, that cell displays nothing (I think no number is being store in that cell), if I type a 1 digit number into that cell is fine. for example,
1.1 [ok]
12 [ok]
0.15 [ok]
4 [not display]
9 [not display]
-23.8 [ok]
so which data type I should use on this column, in order to display all this possible numbers

plain how error handling scope works. What I mean by that is if I have a sub called ImportData and in there I have a for loop to go through a list of files and in the for loop I call another sub routine called CheckData. All have catch error in. If a sub has a catch error in where does it go from its call.
Private Sub ImportData
Dim iLoop as Int16
Try
