String formating issue with doubles

[Jeremy Kitchen]

Private mFormat As String = "##.##"

Return DirectCast(value, Double).ToString(mFormat) returns "" when
value is 0.0

I would prefer that it return "0". Does anyone have some advice?

Thanks for any help

Try this fromat string to see if it gives you what you want (I think
it should always show a leading zero before the decimal point).

"#0.##"

The # indicates an optional number, but you can use 0 for "always a number,
and 0 if there's nothing in there".

Private mFormat As String = "#0.##"

Hello, Jeremy,

You could try:

Private mFormat As String = "#0.##"

Cheers,

Hello R. MacDonald,

Hmm... You could enclose the statement in Val

Val(DirectCast(value, Double).ToString(mFormat) )
-- You can do anything with a little bit of 'magination.

-- I've been programming so long, my brain is now software.

Hello, Jeremy,

Private mFormat As String = "#0.##"

That doesn't produce a formatted string.
