Configuration :: Decimal Place - Convert String To Double
Oct 9, 2010
i have a strange error creaping into my web app but am unsure as to how to fix it. When i run this code on my debug workstation it works fine but when i transfer it to my server things seam to go wrong.
dev station (windows 7) + VS2010
regional and language settings all set to uk
server (windows 2008r2)
regional and language settings all set to uk
What seams to be happening is that when converting a string to a double it works correctly on the dev environment but moves the decimal place to the end on the server.
example code(vb)
dim lat as string = "52.983829"
dim long as string = "-0.036500"
dim latint as double = lat
dim longint as double = long
now on the dev server the value of latint is 52.983829 as you might expect but on when published to the server it becomes 52983829.0 the same with longint on the dev staion it is -0.036500 but on the server it becomes -36500.0 i get equally confusing problems if i try to change it to an integer instead.
Just to be forward, my .net and c# expierence is very limited, that one could say I'm a complete noob :) However I do have some grasp on OOP as I usually work in PHP (FWIW). My problem seems to be with this line:
From what I've gathered, I'm suffering from some kind of type casting problem? Hopefully I haven't missed anything, its a bit difficult to show all the code but hopefully someone can point me in the right direction? Question is; how can I get an extra decimal place to show up on my sum (or why is it dropping the last decimal place?).
I have a string, that could look like "123,34", "123123,09", "1234", "123.34", "123123.09"
(Stringrepresentation of 10,2 decimal that will be stored into a MySql DB)
Due to the culture of the ASP.net thread may differ, because my application supports localization, I need to find a safe way to convert the most likely user input into a decimal.
How is that possible?
I tried various Decimal.Parse attemps, that all failed so far.
Solution:
My final solution was a mixed one. I used string replace to ensure my date is formatted into the specified CultureInfo I used for parsing
When running our web application the following message appears:
Failed to convert parameter value string to decimal. We believe that the problem might be with the sequence which generates the user_id. The user_id should be the output after successful insert of record. The stored procedure works well from within the DB and Visual Studio. Our DB version: 11gR1 on Windows.The web form has a button event with this c#-code:
The biggest difference between double and decimal is that double is a floating point variable type whereas decimal is a fixed point variable .What it means?? Please Explain the abovePoint with Example.According to me both are used to store the folating numbers,then whats the difference between two?
In a formview I need to present a new value calucalted by dividing one field value by another. I need to present the result to one decimal place. The code I am using is the following, however it presents the resulting value rounded up or down to the nearest whole value:
I did try and insert refernces to {0:N1} but this just threw asp.net errors. Any advise on how I can guarantee that the value calculated is presented to one decimal place?
I am displaying a money values in a gridview. Is possible to use inline code to set the decimal places to two? Would like to do it inline instead of in the C# code behind if possible. Database table column [Rate] is datatype money.
i wanna convert char to double type and convert it to date.char->double then double -> date type.I have a whole string and i trim it into 3 parts. In my item(2) is a UNIX Timestamp i'm trying to convert it into date type.
i need to convert decimal amount to words for ex: 40300 the Result Should be: Fourty Thousand Three Hundred Rupees only if 40300.35 then: Fourty Thousand Three Hundred Rupees and Thirty Five Paise only.i have tried many Syntax and Functions bt nthing is Working Correctly,
If I have a string/integer that looks like 123, how can I convert that to look like 12.3?Basically what I need is something faster (if possible) than thisMath.Round(Double.Parse(input / 1000), 1).ToString
im using asp.net and somehow my escape characters dont seem to work
string testing = "my name is "abc"";
this gives the output : my name is "abc"
ive read all the tutorials, everywhere it says that ive to put " to use double quotes inside a string but i have no idea why my system isnt accepting the escape character.
I am developing a asp.net web application, i have a string (with a value in it from a database), with multiple lines that i put in a TextBox with mulitline type. (textarea)
Now the problem is, that in the string are multiple lines, with much empty space. so i want the remove only the double linebreaks.
example of my textbox:
{empty} {empty} 'This is some text in the textbox on line 3 'some text on line 4 {empty} 'some text on line 6 {empty} {empty} 'some text on line 9 {empty}
now somehow i want to remove line 1 and 2, and line 7 and 8
