[RESOLVED] Show positive symbol for integer

Hey all,

One quick question.

How do I have a positive number show the "+" sign before the number.

I feel that this should be easy but my searches must be too broad because I get way more info than I want and don't seem to find the easy fix.


Thanks in advance,
Major

If you want a "+" symbol before a number you prepend one yourself when you convert the number to a string. There's nothing that will do it for you automatically (that I've ever seen) because positive numbers are implied, in VB just as in the rest of the world.

There isn't an easy fix, because the only way to show that would be to add it. Assuming you have the number showing up as a string already, you need to do something like this:

<wherever you are putting it> = "+" & <Number>.ToString

It can't be done automatically.

I was afraid of that.

I kind of hoped there was a Format function that would accomplish this as some numbers will be negative and some positive.

Thanks for your help, I'll set this as resolved.
