I am trying to use string.format on a url to pass several values into the string. It's probably a simple error but I cannot get the following code to work. It doesn't even build the string.
Public Sub getStockData()

Dim url As String

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 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?
Right now I am using this code on client side.

The values for the hidden fields are already set. I want these value to open a window, in which the fields will be already filled using the values passed by this page.

in my application, I am pulling in items from a microsoft project file using mpxj - one of the items I need is the predecessors. The way I am able to pull the predecessor is using a build in function of mpxj which returns a type of java.util.list - I can save this to variable as an object, but I need to find a way to bring the data to a format I can easily use so I can store it into a database. Listed below is the line of code I am using to pull the predecessors from the project file.
Dim predecessors = task.getPredecessors
and here is the result when putting a tracepoint in to get the value of predecessors
[[Relation [Task id=4 uniqueID=45577 name=Standards Training - Round 2] -> [Task id=3 uniqueID=45576 name=Process Excellence Training]]]
Even if I could get the above as a string, I could work with it enough to get the data I need. The above example is where there is 1 item in the predecessor list, but sometimes there are multiple items. Here is an example of the tracepoint when there are multiple items.
[[Relation [Task id=63 uniqueID=45873 name=Complete IP Binder] -> [Task id=47 uniqueID=45857 name=Organizational Assessment]], [Relation [Task id=63 uniqueID=45873 name=Complete IP Binder] -> [Task id=49 uniqueID=45859 name=Document Deliverables]], [Relation [Task id=63 uniqueID=45873 name=Complete IP Binder] -> [Task id=56 uniqueID=45866 name=Infrastructure Deliverables]], [Relation [Task id=63 uniqueID=45873 name=Complete IP Binder] -> [Task id=58 uniqueID=45868 name=IT Deliverables]], [Relation [Task id=63 uniqueID=45873 name=Complete IP Binder] -> [Task id=60 uniqueID=45870 name=Organizational Deliverables]]]
So strings are reference types right? My understanding is a reference to the string in the heap is passed even when you pass the string ByVal to a method.
String myTestValue = "NotModified";
TestMethod(myTestValue);
System.Diagnostics.Debug.Write(myTestValue); /* myTestValue = "NotModified" WTF? *[code].....
And what is going on under the hood? I would have bet my life that the value would have changed....
however, i'm copying this directly from the book in its example format and still getting an error.

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?

how I can ensure that conversion of a date to a string and a string to a date will give me the same date format.

I'm actually only interested in the date part as the label text shows so f is more than I want.But also, the day and month are reversed.
I am writing a simulator for a complex technical system. I have created a custom control which inherits from the Button control. My project requires around 100 of these buttons, which function identically except for one difference. The background image cycles between 4 different images, (depending upon whether the button is pressed and/or the state of a Fault parameter), and this group of 4 images is different for many of the buttons. So when I drag a new control onto the form, I'd like to be able to specify which group of 4 images to use for this button.
Currently I'm using this syntax:
if not IsFault and isOn then
MyBase.BackgroundImage = My.Resources.FaultOnButton01
...
But this means I have to change each image in the code for each individual button. To simplify matters I though of using the Tag attribute. That way the class code can select the images by a process like this:
if not IsFault and isOn then
Mybase.BackgroundImage=My.Resources. + mybase.Tag + "01"
Obviously this syntax won't work, so my question is: How can I pass a built-up string value to the MyBase.BackgroundImage?

I'm setting up a simple helper class to hold some data from a file I'm parsing. The names of the properties match the names of values that I expect to find in the file.

Is this possible without having to test for each individual property name against the supplied propertyName?
