Hey all, having some trouble with casting values inputed into a text box into double. In particular, I'm having trouble with the decimal. It's ok if someone puts in a number with a decimal when there is a number before the decimal, but if I input the decimal first I get a :
"Make sure your method arguments are in teh right format" error.
Private Sub tbPrice_TextCha nged(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArg s) Handles tbPrice.TextCha nged
xPrice = System.Convert. ToDouble(tbPric e.Text)
End Sub
Where xPrice is a double. Any ideas? TIA

Found that article, it lists 4 ways of casting but none of them worked for me. The Iconvertable was not available and the casting option was also not an option as the posters mentioned at the bottom.
I'm thinking that I'm gonna need to parse this thing first and do an 'if' for "." and then convert. Or what do you all think of concatenating 1+ textbox first?
Think I found a solution, use numbericupdown control! I never knew it existed :P

I would guess that it has something to do with language set you application is using. eng-us is fine to start it with a . and not a number.

Hello,
I saw on a couple of recent posts people saying that casting the return
value of malloc is bad, like:
d=(double *) malloc(50*sizeof(double));
why is this bad? I had always thought (perhaps mistakenly) that the
purpose of a void pointer was to cast into a legitimate date type. Is
this wrong? Why, and what is considered to be correct form?

They all override a method of the form:

Hello,
I am running into an invalid address alignment error on an HPUX box
when I attempt to lookup a value in a STL map. The argument being
passed in is a double, which is accessed from a structure; the map's
key is also a double. The issue seemed to be occuring in the map's
default comparison function so I implemented my own comparison
operator, but then the error continued happening in my new fxn.
Strangely, casting the double I...

Hi guys, I am having a problem with the following code snippet:-
double x = (myReader);
double y = (myReader);
Resulting in the follwing compilation error:
Cannot implicitly convert type 'object' to 'double'. An explicit

Hi ,
I was going through peter van der linden's book Expert C programming,
in this book there is a section named "How and why to cast"
the author then says as follows
(float) 3 - it's a type conversion and the actual bits change.
if you say (float) 3.0 it is a type disambiguation,and the compiler
can plant the correct bits in the first place.some people say that

Hello folks,
I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed.
This is as boiled down as I can make it.
Here is my compilation command:
g++-12 -std=c++20 -Wnarrowing bit_field.cpp
