I have a string which looks like this 512.3 is there a way to add a trailing zero so it looks like this 512.30 Just to clarify (sorry I didn't know there where different ways etc.) My string is an amount which is passed so changes all the time I only need the trailing zero on amounts like 512.3, 512.4,512.5 etc. as some of my amounts will pass values like 512.33 and 512.44 and so on

I'm having difficulty with some strings of varying 'meaningful' length from a different database (not under my control) that I am trying to trim in my vb.net code.
I only want to remove TRAILING whitespace... therefore, I can't really use .trim method.
The reasoning behind this being that the field sent from the french database usefully uses a <space> to represent a 0 (as you do).
The string is always the same length but the meaningful length can vary, an example being 95WO<space>5CA<space><space><space>...etc
Or it could be this...
<space><space>WO<space><space><space>... etc
Or this...
<space>5WO95CA<space><space><space>...etc
I've got my methods in place to split the string into pairs and perform various lookups but until I can remove the trailing whitespace I'm a bit stuck
What's the trailing ampersand on VB hexadecimal numbers for? I've read it forces conversion to an Int32 on the chance VB wants to try and store as an Int16. That makes sense to me. But the part I didn't get from the blurb was to always use the trailing ampersand for bitmasks, flags, enums, etc. Apparantly, it has something to do with overriding VB's fetish for using signed numbers for things internally, which can lead to weird results in comparisons.
So to get easy points, what are the rules for VB.Net hexadecimal numbers, with and without the trailing ampersand? Please include the specific usage in the case of bitmasks/flags and such, and how one would also use it to force signed vs. unsigned.
For removing trailing part is I use the code
str.substring(0,str.length -2)
Is there a better way? I especially dislike using str.length.
Edit I wanted the question to be as short and simple as possible and I supposed that I just overlooked some String method. I try to be more precise.
I need to remove given number of characters from the end of a string. I don't want to care what the characters are and I don't want to introduce a risk of removing more characters.
If the number is larger then string length let's there is an exception (the string should be validated earlier).
I don't have the problem especially with length, but with referencing a variable twice (imagine a function instead of a variable). I also don't like necessity of subtraction but it is only a personal preference.
The question is taged vb.net so there is vb.net code (should be in a module):
<System.Runtime.CompilerServices.Extension> _
Public Shared Function RemoveFromEnd(stringValue As String, removedCharacters As Integer) As String
Return stringValue.Substring(0, stringValue.Length - removedCharacters)
End Function
Is is it possible to add trailing text after the checkbox for a Datagridview CheckBoxColumn?
The situation is like this. Say the DataGridView shows name of employees from datatable. The user can select employees from the displayed list in the DGV. For the selection, I inserted a checkboxcolumn into the datagrid. Everything OK.
But just want to know whether it is possible to merge the two column into 1, so that the check box precedes the name of the employee in the same cell rather than in a different column.
I have a winform which allows people to edit data from a database, to simplify things assume there is a Customer table in database with 3 fields - Name, City, Country. Through winform(s) people can Add/Edit/Delete customers.For each of these actions we need to save:
What the field names are (Name,City,Country in this case)What the field values were before they were modified What the field values are after they are modified.If the action is Add or Delete then 2 and 3 will be the same.I have already implemented this using XMLSerialisation (but not using any of the design patterns) and my XML output looks like this.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<ActivityItem xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema">
<UserID>26</UserID>
<FormTitle>frmCustomer</FormTitle>

The solution can handle different areas of the system with different number of fields (i.e the same thing works when you are modifying Products for instance).is there a well defined design pattern to deal with this kind of behavior?

View 2 RepliesHow would I go about rounding up decimal numbers to the nearest 2 decimal places? For example $7.0000032 would be $7.01 In theory, VB would make it $7.00 but if it is > $7.00, I want it to reflect that to the nearest penny... so $3.0000001 would be $3.01

Problem: Using the sub routing below, when adding a value to another value the results eventually change from 2-decimal places to multiple decimal places.Basically, the amount stored should always only be 2 decimal places, because the values passed in are always 2 decimal places. Output from calling the sub routine multiple times.
Running total = 329430.75
New Withheld Amount = 710.79
Running total = 330141.54

As a workaround, I have a new routine that uses a custom round function to properly store only 2 decimal places - as the VB round function does not perform the type of rounding desired.I understand that we are removing the value from the dictionary and adding it back..

View 3 RepliesI am trying to convert information stored in a file to a decimal (or ASCII) format, then write the contents of that file to a new file.
What I have is a list of files that are generated from a cash register. The documentation that was provided to me says that this particular file I am trying to work with has a length of 6, a width of 6, and that it's BCD type.
I've done quite a few google searches and can't seem to find a good solution. I know BCD numbers should be stored as 0000 format. But the problem I'm getting is when I read each part of the file (using my sr.read) I'm getting full numbers..and I am expecting the 0000 format. I'll get a 0, 0, 0, and then all of the sudden I"ll get a number that's 65,000..then I'll get a 34...and there doesn't seem to be any
I'm sure I'm doing something incorrect here, my knowledge of reading HEX, BCD, etc. is very minimal. I'm guessing it has to do with using a filestream, so I can use the fs.ReadByte() method..but when I tried that my program was literally chugging along for several minutes with no sign of ending.[code]...

I have inputs for two x and two y coordinates , and the program calculates the midpoints of both and prints them in a text box as a new set of coordinates. The points are represented by doubles to allow decimal and negative points, but I want to round the final coordinates to 1 decimal place. e.g: (12.5, 9.8) Math.Round would work, except that it only seems to be able to round to a whole number. e.g: (12, 10)
