Convert Each String Amount To Currency?

i 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"))

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)

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 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.

im trying to learn how to made stuff with currency.For example:I divide 10.000$ by 12 Months, rounding with 2 decimals i have 833,33 $.If i multiply 833,33 $ * 12 i got 9999,96 $, so there is 0.04 of possible loss.
Rounding the 9999.96 with 2 decimals of presition i got 10.000 $ but that's what i don't want since 0.04 is a loss.Im using SQL Compact 4.0 as database, the price_month table is decimal(18,2)
Here is my code:
Dim price as Decimal = 10000
Dim pricemonth as Decimal = Math.round((price/12),2) ' 833.33
Console.Writeline(pricemonth*12) ' 9999.96
Console.Writeline(Math.round((pricemonth*12),2)) ' 10000

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?

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 ..

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've searched for the solution for this however 'answers'i've found have perhaps been a little more than I've needed. basically i have 2 textboxes on my form, 'textbox1' is populated by a value from a database, say.. 200.00 on form load. 'textbox2' needs to accept a users value (say 50.00) and then add/subtract that from the value in 'textbox1' when the form's refreshed/submitted/whatever
whats the syntax involved in this process, i've seen efforts involving parse, 'Cint' etc but need to check there isn't some ridiculously easy way of doing this..

I have a program where a user enters a list of numbers in the form of a string. This list of numbers is always a multiple of 8.So the list can contain 8, 16, 32, 40, 48, etc. numbers.
I need to split that string into every 8 characters.For example, say the user entered "1234123445674567"
How can I split it into a string array where (0) is "12341234" and (1) is "45674567"
Note: The size of the array has to be equal to the length of the string divided by 8.
Like this:
Dim stringArray(txtInput.Text.Length/8) as String Edit: I know I could do this by making a loop that counts 8 numbers and splits it into an array but that would be lengthy and take a few variables and I know there's a more efficient way to do it. I just don't know the syntax.

im trying to make a fast food program on which the user will input the amount that he has, then he will check on what he wants, by using check boxes. There are 7 different check boxes with 7 different amounts of money. I have the program somewhat finished (thanks for the people that helped me before) but theres still a couple of things that I still need to get finished but I dont know how to.I need to be able to get how much money the user has (this will be entered threw a text box, I think I accidentally messed this part up, because I cant get it to work right, (theres alreasy a permit amount of money in there and it needs to be what the user enters instead of the permit, 5.59, one) and this will be the maximum amount he can spend, then the user will check on the food he wants (and the program will add the sales tax also) then it will produce an answer saying if you have enough money or if you dont. But what im confused on is how do I get the users amount of money and make it the maximum mount he can spend and make sure it doesnt go over the amount that he has checked.[code]

I have a string which I have pulled out of a text file as shown below,[code]and I would like to split it up and get the numbers into individual string() arrays. I have tried using split , but the problem with this is that it only splits up characters with one space between them, and there could be multiple spaces between characters so it ends up storing blank spaces it a string array.[code]

As the title says I have a form with many databound textboxes. some of these boxes have data in them and some are empty. I need to add them altogether, so far all of the conversion methods I have tried err out when they run into an empty string, except Val, but then Val won't handle the string with a $ in it. I've tried decimal.parse which handles the $ but not the empty string. So I seem to be in circle that I can't get out of.

I'd like to convert a string which contains a decimal number into string that contains the binary value, the octal and the hexadecimal value of that decimal number.Afterwards I also like to convert a string containing a binary, octal and hexd. number into a decimal string.Basically I'm looking for the functions:
dec2bin
dec2oct
dec2hex
bin2dec
oct2dec
hex2dec
I'd not prefer to rewrite a function, I'm sure the framework must have these functions already.
