Someone please.. just a link to something :(

To me it doesn't require any funky bits of code, just some logical.

How I would approach it is to store the roman numerals as a string, and read the year as an integer. Find the biggest possible remaining value and subtract it from the integer, add it to the roman string.

e.g
Your MCMXCVIII example

Int = 1997
Str = ""

Biggest possible value is M

Int = 997
Str = "M"

Biggest possible value is CM

Int = 97
Str = "MCM"

Biggest possible value is CX
Int = 7
Str = "MCMCX"

Biggest possible value Is VII
Int = 0
Str = "MCMCXVII"

As you can see its basically a case of going thru the integer from highest decimal value to lowest, and finding the Roman equivilant for that decimal place. Wouldn't be hard to set it up as a recurisive function, or a while loop.

Not to sure how to do that.. I'm pretty much a beginner in VB.net, anything you know of I can download? Or a sample code, just to get the idea.

I thought it was a project? ;) Plagirism is naughty.
