format number including + or - sign

[Shailesh Patel]

Hi,
Is there any formatting that adds + or - sign before number. Normally it
adds - sigh if number is negative and no sign if positive.
I want to add + sign when number is positive.

Thank you in advance.

Shailesh,

The most simple is mostly something as

A = 0 - A

As you mean as a string then use the overloaded ToString with the numeric
formatprovider.

I found this one that works. Never had a need for it, but it does work:

dim x as double
string.Format("{0:+0;-0;0}", x)

Did you mean 'A = -A', which will cause the sign to be "swapped"?

Yes, nicer with the same result of course

I have people seen doing this.

A = -1 * A which I don't like at all.
