View 2 RepliesI am trying to create a currency converter that will convert currency. I have a text box to enter the amount and 2 combo boxes to choose which currency you are converting from and to.
I am using a webservice site XML that contains the conversions.
The problem is I cannot get the display to work properly.
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.
View 1 Repliesi have a list with dollar amounts that are strings. there are 8 separate dollar amount fields. amt1, amt2, amt3, amt4, amt5, amt6, amt7, amt8. i want to find out which amount is the largest. how would i convert each string amount to currency? i was thinking something like this:
Decimal.Parse(row("AMT1"))
the string is in this format:
$1,000.00
So I know ("C") converts it to currency, but when I do that I get "Expression is not an array or method, and cannot have an argument list."[code]...

I am trying to convert "-10,00" from a string into a currency using the Swedish culture. Here is my code:
ByVal ci As System.Globalization.CultureInfo("sv-SE")
Convert.ToDecimal("-10,00").ToString("C", ci)
The output from the above code is: -1.000,00 kr, which is wrong. It should be -10,00 kr. Is there anything wrong with my approach?
The solution is to pass the cultureInfo into the ToDecimal function as a second parameter.
ByVal ci As System.Globalization.CultureInfo("sv-SE")
Convert.ToDecimal("-10,00", ci).ToString("C", ci)
I have a textbox that is filled by the method [code]...

Need to get this done: To have just ONE cell that is defined in a dropdown list with several (various) countries� currencies, and each time when I choose a currency on this dropdown, EVERY cell in my worksheet which has a figure formatted with CURRENCY will automatically turn into that currency selected only in that dropdown cell. I have imagined whether if there was a solution, that the monetary cells do not necessarily have to be first in CURRENCY format, or do they have to? Anyway, I do nt know how to accomplish this, Without the solution, I have still at this time just set all the cells with monetary amounts in simple NUMBER format, ie. no CURRENCY SYMBOL at all, till I find a solution ..
View 1 RepliesLet's say I want to convert a Double x to a Decimal y. There's a lot of ways to do that:
1. var y = Convert.ToDecimal(x); // Dim y = Convert.ToDecimal(x)
2. var y = new Decimal(x); // Dim y = new Decimal(x)
3. var y = (decimal)x; // Dim y = CType(x, Decimal)
4. -- no C# equivalent -- // Dim y = CDec(x)
Functionally, all of the above do the same thing (as far as I can tell). Other than personal taste and style, is there a particular reason to choose one option over the other?
EDIT: This is the IL generated by compiling the three C# options in a Release configuration:
1. call valuetype [mscorlib]System.Decimal [mscorlib]System.Convert::ToDecimal(float64)
--> which calls System.Decimal::op_Explicit(float64)

Follow-Up available: There's a follow-up with further details, see Convert MBF to IEEE.
I've got some legacy data which is still in use, reading the binary files is not the problem, the number format is. All floating point numbers are saved in MBF format (Single and Double). I've found a topic about that on the MSDN boards but that one only deals with Single values. I'd also would like to stay away from API-Calls as far as I can.
Edit: Just in case somebody needs it, here is the VB.NET Code (it's Option Strict compliant) I ended up with (feel free to convert it to C# and edit it in):
''' <summary>Converts a MBF Single to an IEEE Single</summary>
''' <param name="src">The MBF Single value</param>
''' <returns>The converted IEEE Single value</returns>

Iam using VB 2005 on Vista This is a sample of what I am doing:
Public Class Form 1 Dim WC As String Private Sub Button1_Click
[Code]...
How do I get around this? What I am trying to do is, I really want to use TextBox's for input to enter numbers when the program is running and I also want a MsgBox to appear if an input is not entered because these numbers are important to a final formula further down.
Let just say I have an Integer like 10,000 (that's the VALUE in want to reach). So, I have another integer like 2500 (that's my current VALUE). Third I have another Integer about 350 PER HOUR. To reach 10,000 I need 7,500 (well I already have 2,500). How long must I wait to reach the 10,000 when the increase is about 350 a Hour. Okay, that's easy: 7,500 / 350 = 21,428571 Hours. BUT how can I convert this double to a timespan? Or how is it possible to add this double value to the current Date to get the Date + Time when I reach the Value?

View 3 RepliesI have a piece of code:
Dim Latitude As Double = row("fltLatitude")
Dim Longitude As Double = row("fltLongitude")
Most of the lat/longs that are being fetched from the db using SP are retrieved in properly, except for a couple of records which do not include a period to indicate a lat/long value.I have tried using these:
Convert.ToDecimal(Latitude)
CDec(Latitude)
decimal.Parse(Latitude)
but none of them are working.
