One Hundred Dollars

[wossname]

A class to convert a decimal variable into its spoken word equivalent string...

123.45 converts to "ONE HUNDRED AND TWENTY THREE DOLLARS, FORTY FIVE CENTS". It could be modified to remove the dollars and cents strings.

It can convert numbers in the range 0 to 1.0E+25 inclusive, so no negative numbers please.

Call it like this...

MessageBox.Show(CashToWords.WriteNumberInWords(Decimal.Parse("123.45")))

Its a shared method so there's no need to create an instance of the class first.

Enjoy

If you want it in Check format, you would have "ONE HUNDRED AND TWENTY THREE DOLLARS + 45/100", as the cents usually aren't spelled out. I may try to change it on my own

Nice job.

Go for it. The post that inspired this wanted the cents in words I think, unless my memory has packed up.

Thanks Wossname, I have used this here in the UK by simply ammending the line.

buf.Append("POUNDS, " & cents & " PENCE")

I should probably point out that technically it produces the wrong results:

$123.45 = "One Hundred Twenty Three Dollars and Forty Five Cents"

Whereas:
"ONE HUNDRED AND TWENTY THREE DOLLARS, FORTY FIVE CENTS" = "100.$23, $0.45" which isn't a dollar amount at all.
