Fomat decimal numbers in ASP

2 New Member
I use Dreamweaver to generate asp pages. I have an access database with numbers. In access the numbers are displaying and formatted to Double, fomat 2 decimals. On teh website the numbers don't display 0's after the decimal point, ie 2.00 shows as 2 , or 2.10 displays as 2.1 etc How could I force the diaplay of 2 decimals, showing the non-significant 0's as well.

I have searched the forum, but cannot find the answer on existing threads

Please help! Thank you

All you have to do is use the formatnumber() function...

formatnumber(19 2.394884,2) would give you 192.3... it will also round up.

John Bentley: INTRO The phrase "decimal number" within a programming context is ambiguous. It could refer to the decimal datatype or the related but separate concept of a generic decimal number. "Decimal Number" sometimes serves to distinguish Base 10 numbers, eg "15", from Base 2 numbers, Eg "1111". At other times "Decimal Number" serves to differentiate a number from an integer. For the rest of this post I shall only use either...

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- It's often explained that the reason for some of the imprecision in C's definition is so that C can be implemented on different kinds of machines -- say, those with 2's complement, 1's complement, or sign-magnitude arithmetic. But the followup remark is sometimes also made that the choice of arithmetic isn't completely unconstrained, since the bitwise operators seem to presume a base-2 machine.

Hi, I'm having some troubles with my numeric-types in my VB.NET 2005 application, together with a SQL Server 2000. - I first used Single in my application, and Decimal in my database. But a Single with value 4.475 was converted to a Decimal with value 4.4749999999999996D. So after inserting and selecting it from the database I got another value than the original!

I'm making a program that will convert decimal inputs (in this case, in inches) and output a fractional answer. At the moment, I'm only able to output the fractional answer in three parts: A whole number text box, a numerator text box, and a denominator text box. I realize that this is probably the closest I'll get to having fractions displayed in VB, so that's no big deal. I'm able to simplify most numbers with some code I've written,...
