Use A Custom Format String On .e.g A Zip Code?
Feb 11, 2010
What is the right way to use a custom format string on .e.g a zip code?
The zip code in the database might have 9 characters, but the program should only output five. Using string.format("{0:#####}","322318825") will output "322318825", the entire 9-digit code.
Zip codes are only an example. This is actually for a dynamic format function that takes two arguments, one is the format and the other is a database field value. Therefore, it cannot work by being strongly typed.

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?

With String.Format() it is possible to format for example DateTime objects in many different ways. Every time I am looking for a desired format I need to search around on Internet. Almost always I find an example I can use. For example:
String.Format("{0:MM/dd/yyyy}", DateTime.Now); // "09/05/2012"
But I don't have any clue how it works and which classes support these 'magic' additional strings.So my questions are:How does String.Format map the additional information MM/dd/yyyy to a string result?Do all Microsoft objects support this feature?Is this documented somewhere?Is it possible to do something like this:String.Format("{0:MyCustomFormat}", new MyOwnClass())

I came across this great article on creating a custom datagridview column which creates a graph-like effect in the cells of a custom datagridview column:[URL]..Does anyone know how you would edit this to format the number in the cell as a percentage? And does anyone know how you would set this up to take 0 values which do not create any graph effects at all.I have been trying to do this but keep getting errors.

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.

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.

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:

The file reads in parameters and two of the parameters used to be in Date Format YYYYMMDD but will now permanently be in format YYYY-MM-DD. This change, I believe, is stopping the import of the file from working. I would like to replace the new format YYYY-MM-DD back to YYYYMMDD in the code. If possible I'd also like to see some output so I know that the old format has been replaced with the new format. The code is below. I added the two rows with .replace code in green in expecting that to be enough but it is still not working.

Code:TimeTo_dtp.CustomFormat = "dd/MM/yyyy - HH:mm:ss"This works fine, but what I also want is for the the user to be able to select their time more precisely using miliseconds. After searching around I came across this web page:It has all the different formats on there. If you scroll down you will see format 'f' then format 'ff' then format 'fff', 'ffff', 'fffff', 'ffffff', 'fffffff.'What I am asking is how do I use that in my example?
I tried
Code:
TimeTo_dtp.CustomFormat = "dd/MM/yyyy - HH:mm:ss.fff"

OK, for those that saw my previous one, this one is different than that, much different.The program I'm making is basically an offline, open source Po, which will allow for people to create their own Databases of Pon, even custom ones, without any hex editing as long as they use the program to create the files. developing a custom format for my program, the ".pid" format, which stands for "Pokex Information Data-File". Yes, I know it's for Poon, but it's a program I promised to end with, and I'm also kinda doing this for myself (Still being a fan of the game series.)w, the file format is done something like this:

I had a weird series of errors involving e.Graphics.DrawString() when painting a panel.I am using a barcode font [Code 128] with a library that converts text to the proper format for Barcode readers.That's fine, however, when I draw it to the panel, that's where things stop being fine:But, here's where things get funky. When I put it into a TextBox instead of drawing it via Graphics.DrawString(), everything is peachy:In fact, the TextBox one looks much better than the Graphics.DrawString() one! Am I doing something wrong?[code]

I am working on a simple window application (VS2010,VB.NET). It's an HR management App - Employees records.I need simply insert/edit Employee Info, reports in Excel (with out crystal reports) & Show in Grid.So I am thinking of using Telerik RAD WinForms (2011) only because it looks cool. But I also know that Telerik could be a real pain when you need more flexibility.Although my application is quite basic still I want to determine whether I should go with Telerik or just use standard Windows Forms functionality? How can I generate custom report in specific format.Also It would be nice if some one point me to some sample application or VB.NET windows Tutorials?

The file format has already been explained to me, and I can easily view it in notepad to understand it. It's basically a text file with a fancy extension and what not. The only problem is that I need to read it and pull a certain span of data from it.Here's the basic format:
8200
3251
1
[code].....
This is the first 10 lines, which is useless data for me. However, right after the first 10 lines, is a span of an unknown quantity of lines that I do need that are formatted like so:grassC:Program FilesMicrosoft GamesHalo Custom itiondatalevelsestlood_creekitmapslood_creek groundThe first line is the name of a bitmap assigned to the ID, while the second line is the path to the bitmap.Finally, after the unknown span of lines, there are two lines that go in this order:01Which I can safely assume at this point that the list no longer needs to be read.What I need to do is be able to open this file, skip over the first 10 lines which are completely useless, and then pull out the unknown gap of lines, and then stop reading when the line is '0', or at the end of the list.

I have a datagridview (windows forms) that is inside an mdiChild form. The custom format is given by a "for" instance, something like this:
For row As Integer = 0 To .Rows.Count - 1
If .Rows(row).Cells("someNumber").Value = 0 Then
.Rows(row).DefaultCellStyle.BackColor = Color.DarkSeaGreen
End If
Next
So, for every row in the grid that you find, if ther value in the "somenumber" =0 paint the whole row green. Problem is, if I put the form OUTSIDE of the MDIParent - just put frmMyform.show() in my btn that calls the form-, the grid WILL apply the format; If I call it like frmMyform.mdiparent = frmMdi, then frmMyform.show, the grid WILL NOT apply the format.
