I am doing some calculations and the outcome of those sums are like 0.743449889958
the sum is calulated like so textbox.Text = (textbox1 * _Units) / _priceincur
how would i format the string so that it only shows 0.7434 (rounded)
The bottom line on a dropped-down datetimepicker shows the date different then in the text-part.In my case, the text-part format was yyyy/mm/dd, but the bottom part of the dropped down part stated Today: dd/mm/yyyy, what is probably the format set in the regional settings.
View 5 RepliesI have wirttend a code in VB.NET 2005 where i fetch the data from DB and this data has date also. I read the date format of excel and the change the date format accordingly in my VB.NET code. I have set the date format in regional setting is dd/mm/yyyy and while reading the date fromat of excel in vb.net code there i find that the format same i.e. dd/mm/yyyy and then i change the date in this format accordingly. However the result which i dispalyed in Excel 2007, found that the date still shows in mm/dd/yyyy. I am surprise how it happening.

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?
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.
however, i'm copying this directly from the book in its example format and still getting an error.

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.
View 5 RepliesI've got a little program that puts some info from an sql database into some text boxes on my form.The text box i'm trying to change shows a date in the format such as "JAN12" and I just want to take off the last 2 characters (always 5 characters) and put them in a second text box.I tried this to take off those 2 characters but it doesn't seem to do anything:
Dim fixExpiry As String
Dim chars1() As Char = {"1", "2", "3", "4", "5", "6", "7", "8", "9", "0"}
fixExpiry = ST_ExpiryTextBox.Text
fixExpiry.TrimEnd(chars1)
I also tried using something like remove(3,2) but it didn't do anything either.
I want to format the Timespan to have format like this 49 hr 34 mn 20 sec
I used the String format below :
String.Format("{0:00}:{1:00}:{2:00}", theTimeSpan.TotalHours, theTimeSpan.Minutes, theTimeSpan.Seconds)
It formats the Timespan to this format 49:34:20. How can I add hr mn sec to the String.Format above? or there's another easy way?

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'm working on a calculator application and one function is to find midpoints on a cartesian coordinate system. 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)
Is there any way to specify how many decimal places Math.Round rounds to, or is there another function that could acheive this result?

Working on some UI stuff, but I am having a problem drawing 'Top rounded' rectangles when the two top corners are rounded. I have methods to draw all four corners rounded and bottom rounded rectangles and they render fine.
I have attempted the graphics methods in CreateTopRoundedRect() in a variety of different orders, drawing the other corner first, the bottom line first, the bottom line before the left line, etc. In this function you can see a diagonal line splitting the shape. If you were to switch the bottom and left lines only half of the shape would be filled.

This produces a rounded rectangle where only the top left corner is accurate.AntiAliasing has to be turned off because it is going through a remote desktop connection, and I can't depend on it being available. Besides, I am looking for a crisp rounded rectangle.I've tried resizing the other corners and changing the pen alignments, but nothing seems to produce a simple, accurate rounded rectangle.Is there a way to draw a better rounded rectangle than this in good old winforms?

I have read about Round() and MidpointRounding.ToEven but I still could not figure how to use it to achieve what I want. I have numbers (usually from 5 digit decimal) such 125.36 , 125.10, 125.99. I want to make the 2 decimal point rounded to the nearest 20. Means, the 2 decimal point should be either .00 or .20 or 0.40 or .60 or 0.80 only.
125.36 should be 125.40 : 125.10 should be 125.00, 125.99 should be 126.00
125.54 should be 125.60 and so on
Is there math function to make or I should parse the number as text and test the last 2 digit?
