Formatting TimeSpan To String Text?
Jul 26, 2010
I have a calculation that takes place utilizing the TimeSpan.FromTicks method, the result is stored in a TimeSpan object. The calculation itself is working correctly, but I'd like to format the result a bit nicer than it is and I can't figure out how to format a TimeSpan.
The result from the TimeSpan is:
00:00:04.6153846
I'd like to remove any preceding zero's and round up to the second decimal place, such as:
4.62
Does anyone know how I might be able to accomplish this? I can't seem to find a .NET 'built in' solution.

gvRankings.DataSource = rankings.OrderBy(rg => rg.Swimtime).Take(100).ToArray();
gvRankings.DataBind();

The language I am using is C#.
I have the folowing dillema.
DateTime A, DateTime B. If A < B then I have to calculate the number of days per year in that timespan and multiply it by a coeficient that corresponds to that year.
My problem is the fact that it can span multiple years.
For example:
Nr of Days in TimeSpan for 2009 * coef for 2009 + Nr of Days in TimeSpan for 2010 * coef for 2010 + etc

I want to show just a part of a string for example:
Instead: "Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consetetur sadipscing elitr, sed diam nonumy eirmod tempor invidunt ut labore et dolore magna aliquyam erat, sed diam voluptua."
Just a: "Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consetetur sadipscing..."
Which method can I use to do that?

I have the following code, which generates insert queries
For Each f As String In Directory.GetFiles(d)
objSQLStringBuilder.Append("insert into table1 (full_path, file_name) values ('" & f.Replace("'", "''") & "', '" & f.Remove(0, Len(d) + 1).Replace("'", "''") & "');")
Next
However, the paths which it finds are formatted as follows c:program filesmicrosoft officewinword.exe I need to format the paths as follows file:///c:/program%20files/microosoft%20office/winword.exe. How can I modify the above code to do this?

I have a table in my SQL DB that is a DateTime table, what I want to do is take the numeric datetime it stores and convert it to a long date (i.e. 12/12/2012 conversts to December 12, 2012). Seaching the forums it looks like the string.format is the way to go and searching for info on that I found [URL] which lists all the different formats but they do not list a formating string to convert to the format I want to use. Does anyone know what format string I would use to convert a numeric date to a long date like I want? And can you show it in a code example because I am not 100% sure I understand the code examples shown on that site.

UPDATE 2:
In this section, I am trying to manually add in tabs and line spaces so the string is formatted when displayed via the pre tag. But this does not work.
objStringBuilder.Append("<div>" & Environment.NewLine)
objStringBuilder.Append(vbTab & "<div>some text</div>" & Environment.NewLine)
objStringBuilder.Append("</div>" & Environment.NewLine)
Return "<pre>" & Server.HtmlEncode(objStringBuilder.ToString) & "</pre>"
UPDATE 1:
I have tried the following, but it does not work:
return "<pre>" & Server.HtmlEncode("<div><div>some text</div></div>") & "</pre>"
I want it to display something like this
<div>
<div>some text</div>
</div>
But it's diplaying like this, which is expected:
<div><div>some text</div></div>
I don't know how to get spaces, tabs, carriage returns into that string which are recognizable by the pre tag, as environment.newline and/or vbtab make no difference.
ORIGINAL QUESTION:
Is it possible to display HTML as text on your page in a formatted manner? For example, it should contain white spaces, tabs etc etc for readability purposes:
From another question, I have learned how to display HTML as text as follows:
Server.HtmlEncode("<div>Some text</div>");

I need users to be able to enter text in a webform with some basic formatting options and then generate a report showing the formatted text.The support for HTML is horrible and entering a simple bulletlist doesn't even show properly in the report.Right now i'm using a textarea with tinyMCE but that's because i don't know what else to use.Is there a known best-practice for showing formatted text in a Crystal Report?EditI just need to show a report with a bunch of text and icons. Users need to be able to save it to PDF. I doesn't even have to be Crystal Reports but it's what i have been using and worked so far. Until i needed to show formatted text.I wish for another solution that comes with a designer and let's me bind against a DataSet.

Quick VS2010 question.
I tried to apply formatting to my text (tools>options>texteditor>htmlformatting>tags)
where you can change color, style, and font-weight of certain tags, I apply them, but they do not change the text editor rendering of these tags.
Anyone else tried this with no effect?
Otherwise it works ok, but I find it easier to use one color for html, one for asp, and one for ajax tags for my purposes.

I want to be able to store strings in the DB but some are long and i want to format them such that when i copy them out of SQL and past them into notepad they have line breaks to break up the otherwise single line that runs on forever and hard to read.
lets say i am storing a string of all the session variables like this, how do i include line breaks in here?
StringBuilder theBody = new StringBuilder();
theBody.Append("Session Values: " + "
");
foreach (string s in Session.Keys)
theBody.Append(s + ":" + Session[s] + "
");

We have a service that generates a report (using word templates and a 3rd party library), and then returns a string in HTML. While this HTML isn't great - its formatted correctly in this string. We want this HTML to show up on a page - format intact. What we currently have done is set an ASP.net Literal's text element to this string. While this works, I have noticed that it has reformatted the HTML string slightly. For the most part, it looks like it generated a bunch of new CSS classes, and a new style element in the HTML. This HTML does not exist in the string thats being returned. I could filter all of this back out, but wonder if there is a better way. I assume that the Page itself is altering something. What is the best way to display this raw HTML back to the user? I can't directly use a Response.Write(string), because this page does have a few other controls on it.

I am having text formatting problem with Outlook 2007 since it is taking different rendering engine i.e word 2007. In our application, we are sending mails to different clients who have Outlook 2003 and Outlook 2007. We have used CSS in our application for formatting.
1. Since I have created Tables and given width in Percentage to every <TD> but while rendering in outlook 2007, every table taking different widths depending on the no. of the columns. Due to this reason, formatting is getting distored. Outlook 2003 shows proper output.
2. In our aspx page, I have created DIV tag with Style attributes having Property as Display:none. But in Outlook 2007, DIV tag is visible. Due to this, unwanted Warning messages also getting displayed in the outlook 2007.

I want to put some kind of text editor on my website which allows the user to manipulate the formatting of text. I would also like it to be possible for a user to copy/paste text from an existing webpage and it keep the formatting i.e. markup tags, font weight, bullet points. I just dont know hoe to go about this but the information must be there as when you copy from a web page into ms Word it keeps the format.

In my repeater I am attempting to set the label format based on a value from my datasource. The following line from my repeater is straightforward enough but now how would I modify it if I wanted the "C2" statement in the ToString to pull from a field in my datasource named "MyFormat" which would contain either the C2 or N0 value? Basically switching the formatting for that label between currency and a double?
<asp:Label runat="server" ID="lblValue1" Text='<%# Convert.ToDouble(Eval("MyValue")).ToString("C2") %>'></asp:Label>
I've attempted to simply insert a statement such as Eval("MyFormat") in place of the "C2" statement but to no avail.

I have a long text in SQL and passing it to a gridview. I am trying to make the gridview result display in a multiline scroll. I have tried the following code but to no avail. Additionally, the text in the gridview result is not in the same format as where it came from, eg. Word. That is the format such as bullet points and multiple spaces are removed. So what is left is a lenghty long string.
