missing currency in dotnet

sam
Hello,

I have to make some development in VB.NET for managing money data.

I used tu made these kind of development with currency type when I worked in
VB6 but here in VB.NET, I can't find this type.
So I would like to know if i miss something or if it has been removed from
VB.NET?
If we can't use currency, which type can I use to replace currency and is it
as accurate as currency?

thanks for helping me...

The Decimal type should be suitable.

Windows Server 2003 is supposed to include Framework 1.1 right. I don't have it here but have reports that the web is not running. The users say that the %COMPUTERNAME%\ASPNET user doesn't exist. Questions: 1. is this user replaced by the %COMPUTERNAME%\NETWORK SERVICE user in Windows 2003 Server (IIS6)? 2. if the ASPNET user still needed to run .NET apps and it's missing, how would you add to a Windows 2003 Server box?

I am writing a program where the user inputs currency in US dollars. I want the program to only accept valid currency input, converting the string into the proper type of variable (double?), and to make sure there are no illegal characters entered so that it doesn't make an error. I basically want it to strip out any characters that aren't numbers, in case the user enters something like "$34.23". So far, in my hours of research today I...

I want to display a decimal as a currency value for instance £65.00 or £58.47, but at the moment the code doesn't seem to work correctly. Can I declare this variable to be shown with 2 decimal places any easier??? Maybe at the start of the program?? Here is my code... o65 = CType(o65, Decimal).ToString("C") win17 = CType(win17, Decimal).ToString("C") total = CType(total, Decimal).ToString("C") total = price + o65 + win17

I've built a Currency class, more or less like Java's, a Money class to handle rounding and allocation, and a Moneybag that should collect different monies and convert them to a given exchange rate on demand. Anyone encapsulated a strategy for capturing and using exchange rates in a Converter type object? Ideally this would know how to look up some well known web service and get the rate given the currency. Much thanks in advance,...

Hi, I have a composited control with a Textbox and a Rangevalidator. If I am not mistaken, Rangevalidator should take currency ($) symbol, but I got the validation error when user enter -$100 in the text box. It will succeed if -100. So I tried add a property called "MoneyValue", return a Decimal only value and use , hopping RangeValidator

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
