Currency Help...decimal etc...

[Wayne]

Help, please! I am stuck on a problem. I am trying to multiply to textboxes
and put the result in a currency format...I understand in VB.net there is
not a currency format. Yet, when my qtytextbox * pricetextbox...in my total
textbox I do not get any zeros.
IE...30(qtytextbox) * 12.95(pricetextbox) my total is 388.5
How do I make it read 388.50?

Can ya please help?

q = QtyTextBox.Text
p = PriceTextBox.Text
TotalTextBox.Text = q * p
That is what I have...Please help!

Peace,
Wayne

Use the ToString method and pass in a format string as the parameter:

__Total = QtyTextBox * PriceTextBox

__Total.ToString(__Format);

I don't have the format off hand, but that is a way of doing it.
