need converting to and formating textbox values to decimal data ty

[Newbee Adam]

I have been reading in help how I need to use decimal becuase currency does
not exist like I used in vb6.
I had a difficult time on google and msdn finding how or if I can take the
value of text box as decimal or do I just have to make another decimal
variable
.. So I took a guess hoping CDec would come up blue if I type it in with no
squigglies on the line. But is this actually converting it to decimal.

Next if so, I do not like the out put to the textboxes
Total: 100
Tax: 4.500 I need it formatted as 4.50
Gross: 95.5
Split: 48 This is not accurate, it is rounding, It should be of course
half of 95.5, 47.75

<code>
Private Sub Button1_Click(B yVal sender As System.Object, _
ByVal e As System.EventArg s) Handles btnCalc.Click
'Button 1 Calculate
Const Tax As Decimal = 0.045
Dim a As Integer
For a = 1 To 5
lblTotal.Text = CDec(Val(lblTot al.Text)) +
CDec(Val(txtCoi nsInArray(a).Te xt))
Next
If chkUncleSam.Che cked = True Then
lblTax.Text = CDec(Val(lblTot al.Text)) * Tax
End If
lblGross.Text = CDec(Val(lblTot al.Text)) - CDec(Val(lblTax .Text))
lblSplit.Text = CDec(Val(lblGro ss.Text)) \ 2
End Sub
End Class

Newbee,

Net1.x uses Bankers Rounding and there are no alternatives

I hope this helps,

\ is the integer division ? What if you try / instead ?

This is part of the VB.NET language (i.e. you'll find in the VB.NET language
specification not in the framework class library doc) :
