Well, another basic type of question...amaz ing how much I've forgotten -
never was a VB guru, but. I can see I'll have to pick up a couple VB5
instruction books - any suggestions on a couple good (basic level) learning
VB books?
Okay - in my database I have a sales total box (textsalestotal ) and want to
multiply whatever that figure is by .07617 which is Missouri tax - if I just
use a click event to multiply, for example $30.34 * .07617 I of course get
some number like 2.31099789xxxxx .
For the life of me (been looking over 2 hours) I can't find the format
command to output the answer to a proper currency figure like: Format
(txtsalestotal, "xx.xx") ??
Thanks for any help... :))

No, it needs to be able to automatically convert any number to currency
format - I won't be inputting the number manually and the amount will vary
constantly. I have the data field set to currency - I'm surprised it
doesn't do it automatically anyway...?
Tried that code without success...
Any other thoughts? I used to do this routinely with just a very simply
format expression or truncate process or something -- which I've now forgot
and can't seem to find anywhere.
All I want to do is convert any number within a certain field to currency
format of xx.xx
Thanks for the attempt though - it's appreciated...

I'm lost...Why can't you just use the format function I provided and replace
the number with a variable, field, or whatever...

Hey guys. I have a Repeater and a Template. One of the dataitems calls a

determines how much money has already been spent against the project by
querying expenditure tables.

How is everyone formatting currency with VB.NET?
Before I was calling the API function for it, which took the currency

working with European countries where business in conducted in several

formatting the number accordingly? What about the comma and decimal
switch that some locales use?

Ok, this is driving me nuts...
I am using VS.NET 2003 and trying to take an item out of a row in a
loosely-typed dataset and place it in a label as a currency. As it is now,
I am getting my unformatted data values (as decimals) just fine, so I know
there's not a problem with the data retrieval, just the formatting.
I have read that this would work:
lblPrice.Text = prodRow.ToString("C");

The same for printing, printf?
C,D,E,F,G,N,X for currency, decimal, exponential, fixed, general, numerical,

decimals, left/right placement, or string formatting.

Hello folks,
I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed.
This is as boiled down as I can make it.
