VB.NET Question and Recomendation

[Zumbate]

Hi. I a begginer using VB.NET. Im making a project which is a change calculator (money).

I have two TextBoxes were in one I put the purchase price and in the other the amount tendered. The format to enter it is like this string : 1852 (knowing that i mean $18.52)

The problem is what can I use to take that string of numbers and display in my LISTBOX (lstresults) in the format of money, in order that I can put any amount of number (money) and it will know were to put the decimal point "."
to divide the cents with the dollars.

Example:
_______________________________________________________________
Purchase Price: 1852 (format entered in the TextBox)



Results:
_________________________________________
| Purchase price is: $18.52
| Amount Tendered: .......
| .

Try this:

Dim PurchasePrice As String = "1852"
lstResults.Items.Add("Purchase price is: " & Format(Val(PurchasePrice) / 100, "Currency"))

To understand how that works, look up the Val and Format functions in VB's online help.
