How can I format a bound text box? I've got something like the following:
The value being bound to the text box would be something like 0.0645. It needs to be formatted like $0.064500. Any help would be appreciated.Code:txtCRate1.DataBindings.Add(New Binding("Text", dataset1, "mytable.Amt1"))
The answer was:
Code:Dim crate1 As Binding = New Binding("Text",ds, "mytable.Amt1") AddHandler crate1.Format, AddressOf DecimalToCurrencyString AddHandler crate1.Parse, AddressOf CurrencyStringToDecimal txtCRate1.DataBindings.Add(crate1) Private Sub DecimalToCurrencyString(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal cevent As _ ConvertEventArgs) ' The method converts only to string type. Test this using the DesiredType. If Not cevent.DesiredType Is GetType(String) Then Exit Sub End If ' Use the ToString method to format the value as currency ("c"). If IsDBNull(cevent.Value) = False Then cevent.Value = CType(cevent.Value, Decimal).ToString("c6") Else cevent.Value = CType(0, Decimal).ToString("c6") End If End Sub Private Sub CurrencyStringToDecimal(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal cevent As _ ConvertEventArgs) ' The method converts back to decimal type only. If Not cevent.DesiredType Is GetType(Decimal) Then Exit Sub End If ' Converts the string back to decimal using the static ToDecimal method. cevent.Value = Decimal.Parse(cevent.Value.ToString, Globalization.NumberStyles.Currency, Nothing) End Sub
