C# - Format Decimal Value To String With Leading Spaces?
Nov 28, 2011
format a decimal value to a string with a single digit after the comma/dot and leading spaces for values less than 100?For example, a decimal value of 12.3456 should be output as " 12.3" with single leading space. 10.011 would be " 10.0". 123.123 is "123.1" I'm looking for a solution, that works with standard/custom string formatting, i.e.
decimal value = 12.345456;
Console.Write("{0:magic}", value); // 'magic' would be a fancy pattern.

What is the cleanest, most readable way to String.Format a decimal with the following criteria
start with a sign symbol (+ or -)
a fixed number of fraction digits
no decimal separator
right aligned
pre-padded with "0"'s

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.

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 have a program reporting 6.0054434322 gb Free on my machine.
Dim gigabytesC As String = (GetHDDFreeSpace(letterC) / 1024 / 1024 / 1024) & " gb"
I use string.format to try to chop off unwanted floating point numbers
Dim s As String
s = String.Format("{0:n3}", gigabytesC)
But.. The above line does not work.
Desired Result: s = 6.005 gb

I realize the code listed below, whose serial port using string formatting which I inherited is complicated. It formats a Date obtained from a DatePicker control into a "yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss" string format to send to a hardware device to be stored via Serial Port retrieves the date from the device and displays to user What I'm trying to do is port the code for use in a Socket rather than Serial Port which wants a Byte Arrray of the same Date Time string variable. I can't figure out how to encode and convert to Bytes the string value used in the Serial Port version. The evolution of the process is listed from top to bottom.

I am trying to format a date from a table that I'm getting so that I can concatenate it with another string.But I want the leading zero - I don't want 1/1/2009 - I want 01/01/2009.
I can't seem to find a formatting pattern that does this.

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?

I'm using Visual Basic .Net 2010 Express.I know, for example, that the Visual Basic ( IEEE 754 ) Internal bit-by-bit Double Format is: Bit 63 = Sign, Bits 62-52 = 11-bit Exponent, and Bits 51-0 = 52-bit Fractional Significand.But, I can't seem to find any documentation on the Internal bit-by-bit Decimal Format.There also don't seem to be any workable mechanisms for accessing the bit structure or copying the bits to another Format for internal processing and returning the result to the Decimal Format.[code]to separate the ULongVariable into bytes for convenient manipulation. A similar reverse process allows moving the manipulated bits back into the Signed Long Variable.But, methods like << and >> are not extendable to Decimals per the Microsoft Documentation ( and I tried them anyway, and confirmed that they don't work ). Nor does there appear to be any way to copy the 128-bit Decimal into two 64-bit Unsigned Long Variables, or vice-versa.
I could, of course, forgo the use of Decimals and define my own MDJDecimal consisting of two ULongs, but that seems a bit of an overkill, and its methods would likely incur significant development time, and would probably also be rather excessively slow and cumbersome.I know I could write a workable routine in Visual C++ .Net using the Unmanaged Native Assembler, but I don't know enough about how to integrate that with Visual Basic .Net code, and I don't want to irrevocably tie what I'm developing to the Intel platform.I might also be able to write it in Managed Visual C++ .Net, but, again, I don't know enough about how to integrate that with Visual Basic .Net.

i have string like
Dim Test as String = "abc " & " def"
what above code does is gives is "abc def" as output, what i want is "abc--------def" (where hash sign is spaces i need) i have tried
Dim Test as String = "abc----" & "----def"
for some reason (dot)net only takes it as one single space. check above(1) example ,i gave two spaces but it got converted to one space.
Dim Test as String = "abc" & Char(9) & "def"
doesn't work (found char(9) solution on internet)
Dim Test as String = "abc" & space(8) & "def"
doesn't work I have tried another 10 different option but none seems to be working for me.

I have an internal process that requires data in a very specific format. Nothing I can do about that. So in my VB.NET program I am trying to output a number with a terminating decimal and nothing after it. I tried
swOut.WriteLine("{0,10:###0.}", var)
But the output is a whole number

I'm trying to get my decimals to display with four decimal places. The DB rounds my number to 4 decimal places, but it returns the number with trailing 0s (due to the decimal precision of the field), so something like 9.45670000.[code]...
How do I format my decimal, so that the number of decimal places is always four?

I'm trying to validate an IP address in dot decimal format e.g. 127.55.21.1
System.Net.IPAddress.TryParse(IP, Nothing)
This though returns numbers like "500" or "9" as valid. Why does it do this? Do I have to set the IP address version, if so how would I do this?

I want to be able to find both spaces using the indexof method. Here's my code so far. Basically the program will turn the string "Will Smith" to "Smith, Will" But I noticed when I type in a name with a middle initial or middle name "Will J Smith" I would get "J Smith, Will" And I want to be able to find that second space when its there and apply a code that would produce "Smith, Will J" When there is a second space. How would I go about doing so?

Is there a way to take an integer, say 10, and convert that to 10 spaces? What I've got is a text field that the users enters a number. I then need to convert that number into spaces and insert those spaces into a string of text. I've found several places to convert text to an integer but not the other way around.
