Working With Numbers... {Resolved}

Ok what I am trying to do is show 2 decimal places...

For Example:

1.20 not 1.2 --- Below is my Code... can anyone help me here?



Dim Amount As Double

Amount = 1.20

'Display Amount
lblAmount.Text = "$" + Amount.ToString()

You just have to format it to what you want, try changing the last line to this and see if it works.

Code:

---

'Display Amount
lblAmount.Text = Amount.ToString("$ ##.00")

---

Worked Great Thanks!

Code:

---

    Dim Amount As Integer = "12345"
    Label1.Text = "$" & Amount.ToString("##,###")

---

This will obviously work and display: $12,345
But What if the Amount varible is already as String, example:

Code:

---

    Dim Amount As String = "12345"
    Label1.Text = "$" & Amount.ToString("##,###")

---

The above will now give an error so how would you format the varible that's already a string the vb.net way?

Hello JustAProg,

Well, here is a workaround of sorts.....

VB Code:

Dim Amount As String = "12345"
 
Amount = "$" & Format(Convert.ToInt64(Amount), "###,###,###.00")
MsgBox(Amount)
