In .NET String.Format Is Accepting Objects Of A Type That Don't Match The Format String
Jul 7, 2011I 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?
Format String To Pass To String.Format That Would "move" The Decimal Point?
Aug 26, 2010So 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.

Apr 5, 2011I 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?

May 14, 2009I am receiving this error message: "Input string was not in a correct format." on my ASP.net 2.0 VB project.
When looking at other posts with this error its obvious that each time it will be specific to the users' project. Therefore my main question is, is it possible to generate a more informative error message?
I am already in debug mode but it does not tell me in which string the problem lies. I am converting some strings to integers with "Cint" and have also tried the Integer.Parse() method to no avail.

C# - String Format Not Working
May 26, 2010I am trying to display a number, stored in a dataset as a string, as a phone number. I have a label that Binds to a value but doesn't display the format that I passed as an arg:
<asp:Label ID="lbl005108002" runat="server" Text='<%# DataBinder.Eval(Container.DataItem, "phone number", "{0:(###) ###-####}") %>'></asp:Label>
As a test I tried to pass the formated string into the dataitem but that didn't work either. Is there something else I need to do in order to use this function?

Check If A String Is In Url Format / Url?
Mar 31, 2010I'm trying to create an address bar, much like Google chrome's, where you can enter a url and it will navigate to it or enter just text and it will search Google etc.
I've been at this for a while Googling away, but I can't find a reasonable solution. I know I could look for things like: 'http' etc, but these come in an almost unlimited number of variations. I could also created a webbrequest to test its existence, but I think this could cause an unwanted slow down in the programs operations.

Exception With String Format?
Apr 11, 2010I have a routine that exports data to HTML and works 99% of the time but now and again I get an error of Index (zero based) must be greater than or equal to zero and less than the size of the argument list on this specific line of the code
savef.WriteLine("<td style=" & Chr(34) & "text-align: left; vertical-align: middle; border: 1px solid; letter-spacing: 0pt; word-spacing: 0pt;" & Chr(34) & "><p>" & sRetMessage & "</span><br /></p></td>", True)
Now sRetMessage is declared and passed as a string and contains approx 5 lines of text with <br /> for each VBNewLine.
What I did notice is on one of the errors I have caught, the last 3 characters on every line are =20 sRetMessage is extracted from a text file and so the contents are out of my control.
why i'm getting this error? If it is the =20 within the string, why should this matter as it has been stored and passed as a string value
