Format The DataGridView DefaultCellStyle Format Property (Zip Code And Phone Number)?
Jan 5, 2010
I am using VS 2005 pro and VB.NET. How do you format the DataGridView.DefaultCellStyle.format property for zip codes and phone numbers. I have a zip code and phone number column(s) that I want to be formatted. I have tried a lot of different things:
Zip code: "99999-0000" or "Phone Number: "(999)000-0000" or "(000)000-0000" and the like So far nothing has worked. I can get my date columns formatted correctly, but not these. Can any one give me some examples that work?
I have a field defined as string for phone number which in my SQL cast to Integer.
Format the column as follows
DataGridView1.Columns("ContactPhone").DefaultCellStyle.Format = "(###) ###-####" This works as expected for cells with a phone number but for cells without a phone number I get
{}- Which seems like the proper output for what I specified.
is it possible to format cells with no data (no phone number) to show up empty in their cell?
i see that i can use defaultcellstyle.format to format a column but what if i have an number stored as a string "0511" and i want to display it as a integer "511"
just as the question says. I get numbers like 2125550938 or 20298277625552. these should change to (212) 555-0938 and (202) 982-7762 x 5552 respectively. this is in vb.net
I'm trying to format a phone number in VB.NET 2008 in the code. user can type in this numberfor example: (203) 555-1212The format I would like the phone numbers to appearis this:203.555.1212I haven't been able to find the correct format.I tried this:Dim x As String = "(222) 333-4444"Dim joe As String = String.Format("{0:###.###.####}", x)
I'm trying to validate the correct format for a phone number in a text box: (000) 000-0000 For a test, i made it so that a messagebox shows up saying "correct" if the format is correct. This test works well WHEN the format is correct. BUT when the format IS NOT correct, I keep getting an error saying that the index was out of the array.
I use an unbound datagridview. In the columnscollection i have set the format in the DefaultCellStyle to "N2". In the datagridview cellformatting-event i have also placed the e.Value = CDec(e.Value).ToString("N2",System.Globalization.CultureInfo.InvariantCulture)When i edit a cell in the grid, and put a number (p.e. 15) in it, it will be presented as 15,00 (just the way i wanted).I can change the number to another number without a problem.But when i clears the cell i get an error with the code in the cellformatting-event: "Conversion from string "" to type 'Decimal' is not valid." Probably the value is changed from a decimal number to a string. How can i clear the cell without getting an error?
i try to make a regular expression format to validate phone number at this format: (555) 555-5555 Dim IsPhoneValid As New System.Text.RegularExpressions.Regex("^/([0-9]{3}/)*[0-9]{3}*[0-9]{4}$")
With datagridview.Columns("PricePerUnit") .ValueType = Type.GetType("System.Decimal") .DefaultCellStyle.Format = "C" End With
A datatable is bound to the datagridview and in the above code a If I just add row with a value five to the column "PricePerUnit" it will be shown as $5.00 in the datagridview column Similarly I want to show up something like If I just add row with a value five to the column "DiscountPercentage" it should show as 5.00%
I have the following code. When I use: For i = 3 To MaxColumnDataGridView DataGridView.Columns(i).DefaultCellStyle.NullValue = 0 DataGridView.Columns(i).DefaultCellStyle.Format = "N5" Next The columns format can't be changed. I cannot change the number format whatever I do.
Does anybody know what specific Nokia mobile phone should i use for my project development to send SMS through my PC using a GSM phone... I have my own mobile phone but it doesnt support SMS Text Format on AT COMMANDS. It shows error 303 when i use AT+CMGF=1. meaning my phone does not support Text format. It only support PDU code. I dont have any idea using PDU codes.
converting the number of frames (in a video) to a number/time format. For instance, say a video has 110,212 frames at 23.976 fps, it works out to 01:16:36 (hh:mm:ss) with 18 frames remaining. I would like to format the result in a Textbox like the following:
I'm returning a database query into a List object and using that list object to fill the X and Y axes of my chart as seen below. (_runData is a "List(of DatabaseTableName)" style Object filled with the results of my query.
Primary_Chart.Series(0).Points.DataBindXY(_runData, "DateTime", _runData, "UPPER_PRESSURE") My Datetime field is returning as a Serial Number (i.e. 40116.76111) so I want to format the X Axis to display the field more readably. Enter my problem code.
I'm creating a VB app that uses the Infragistics UltraGrid to display data from 2 JD Edwards files. Before the data is displayed, first I need to convert 2 date fields that are in JD Edwards Julian date format (i.e., 111158 for 6/07/11....the 158th day of this year) to mmddyy format.

I need to take a string formatted like '010711' (DDMMYY) and put it into format '01-Jul-11'. Ive thought about doing something like string.toArray and then having some conditionals that format from there but am looking for an easier way.
When retrieving rows from an SQL Server table I use the following code select mydate, Customer, Details from sales where mydatetime >= '" & format (somedate, "MMM d, yyyy h:mm:ss tt") & "'"This works fine unless the clients computers windows Region setting is 'English (New Zealand)'The default time format in windows Region and Language for New Zealand is [code]On computers with this region setting I get an SQL Error 'Conversion failed when converting date and/or time from character string'..If I manually select the other option for AM symbol, PM symbol in Region and Language i.e AM PM the all works fine again..What format string can I use so that above code always works, even if the Region time format is a.m. / p.m.
I have the following code, and I want it to act as a stopwatch.
Dim spn As New TimeSpan(0, 0, 0) Private Sub elapsedtime_Tick(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles elapsedtime.Tick spn = spn.Add(New TimeSpan(0, 0, 1)) Label6.Text = String.Format("{1}:{2}", spn.Hours, spn.Minutes, spn.Seconds) End Sub
However, when the "stopwatch" ticks, the time is shown like this - 0:3, 2:9, etc. How can I change it so that when the seconds are in the single digits, it shows the time like a normal clock (4:05, 2:09, etc.)?
I have created a class from an xml schema (that I do not own and cannot change) using xsd.exe. Using this class, I am deserializing to bring the data in to an object collection to consume. There are times when I want to take objects in memory and pass them to the class created by xsd.exe using a constructor I built to generate a serialiable object collection.
I cannot figure out how to format some objects correctly Example: In the xml file, there are certain simple types that are floats that come in with 6 digits of precision. When I write them out, they have 7 digits of precision. Anorther example is integers with leading zeros in the xml file. They come in as 4 digits regardless of leading zeros, but I can't find a suitable way using serialization to output them (other than to change the property to a string datatype.[code]...
