Hi
I have a decimal numbers showing up on my datagrid that is displaying
lots of trailing zeros in the listbox.
i.e. 1.000100
or 1.000000
I want to get rid of all the trailing zeros (I don't want to do any
rounding).
I've tried to use:
number.tostring .format("##0.00 ")
or
number.tostring .format("{##0.0 0}"), but all I got was the characters
##0.00 displayed instead!
Actually the original code is like this:
row("Rate").ToS tring.Format("# #0.00")
Where "rate" is a decimal (it's actually a percentage).
I'm very confused! Can you help?
Cheers!

Hi,
Use a numberformatinf o. This is how to get a datagrid to display 3
digits after the decimal. Place this in your tablestyle for the grid.
Dim cm As CurrencyManager = CType(Me.Bindin gContext(DataGr id1.DataSource) ,
CurrencyManager )
Dim pd As System.Componen tModel.Property Descriptor =
cm.GetItemPrope rties()("Qty")
Dim ni As New System.Globaliz ation.NumberFor matInfo
ni.NumberDecima lDigits = 3
Dim colQty As New DataGridTextBox Column(pd, "f")
With colQty
..MappingName = "Col1"
..HeaderText = "Qty"
..Width = 75
..FormatInfo = ni
End With

Thanks Ken for your reply
I think I was being unclear.
This is what I want is this to happen:
Decimal displayed in datagrid = 1.234000, decimal I actually want
displayed = 1.234
Decimal displayed in datagrid = 1.234500, decimal I actually want
displayed = 1.2345
Decimal displayed in datagrid = 1.234560, decimal I actually want
displayed = 1.23456
Decimal displayed in datagrid = 1.234567, decimal I actually want
displayed = 1.234567
The actual code I am using is:
li.text = row("Name").ToS tring & " (" & row("Rate").ToS tring & "%)"
which at the moment is an item in a listbox that is displaying
something like: "Francs (1.234000%)"
I actually want it displayed as "Francs (1.234%)"
I need to get rid of the trailing zeros which are being displayed,
rather than just display or round up/down to 3 digits.
Thanks

.. . . I've tried to use: number.tostring .format("##0.00 ") or number.tostring .format("{##0.0 0}"), but all I got was the characters ##0.00 displayed instead!
Shouldn't that be
number.ToString ("##0.00")
ToString() returns a String, (hopefully) containing the formatted
number. When you call Format on this /String/ value, the masking
characters you can use are /different/ (I think "@" is about the only
one that still works).
HTH,

Thanks Phil
That didn't work for me either. I was very surprised I couldn't get rid
of these trailing zeros easily. I ended up writing my own workaround,
inefficient I guess but effective.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Function notrailingzeros (ByVal strIn As String) As String
Dim i As Integer
For i = Len(strIn) To 1 Step -1
If Mid(strIn, i, 1) <> "0" Then Exit For
Next
If Mid(strIn, i, 1) = "." Then
Return Mid(strIn, 1, i) & "0"
Else
Return Mid(strIn, 1, i)
End If
End Function

Hi,
I have spent some time trying to sort out a date problem (see mail an hour
or so ago) and am now getting to see what the problem is.
If I present today's date as 07/02/2004 in a search it come up as 02/07/04.
as a consequence I can't get the right record selected. How do i ensure all
references to dates are as in UK? My PC is ... I think correctly set up.
This has driven me round the bend!!

Hello,
I am new to C Programming and just started reading K&R. I was about to
finish the pointers chapter but got very confused with:
1. int arr;
>From what I have read, arr is a pointer to the first int and &arr is a
pointer to the whole array of 10 ints. Then why does sizeof(arr) gives
40 while sizeof(&arr) gives 4. Shouldn't is be the other way around.
