Number Format..

[Gary]

Hi,

I am trying to format a number to the following, "10" to "10." using,
Printline(1, format(10, "###.###)) naturally this does not achieve the
desired result, I know if I do this, Printline(1, format(10, "###.0##)) I
get this "10.0" but I do not need the trailing "0" any ideas on how to get
from this "10" to this "10."?

Thanks,

Gary

You only want to add a period to the end of your number
console.writeli ne(10 & ".")
????
You want it formatted with trailing zeros?
Console.WriteLi ne(FormatNumber (10, 2))

But what if the number is variable and can be 10, 10.2, ...?

What is a variable?

Seems Herfried doesn't like me very much, he's been pretty picky about my
postings.
I would still appriciate any help from you, Thanks!

Try this:

Dim str As String
Dim num As Int32 = 10
str = num.ToString("# " & "\.")

Gary:
Use the FormatNumber function...

From the Visual Basic Language Reference

Dim myNumber As Integer = 45600
Dim myString As String
' Returns "45,600.00" .
myString = FormatNumber(my Number, 2, , ,TriState.True)

Good luck...

Jared:
A variable is a temporary storage location whose value changes (varies).
dim myVar as integer

myVar = 10
myVar = 1000

There are also constants and many other abstract data types.
Relax.
I don't think anyone is picky with you. No one has monopoly to knowledge.
Read and learn as much as you can and be prepared to take each posting
as a learning opportunity.

I only wanted to add that your method will fail when used with a number
already containing a decimal point.

No... That's not true...

This will work with integers, but it won't work with numbers like 2.3.
