Question

In a table the amounts are saved without decimal points.

1 = 0.01, 10 = 0.10, 100 = 1.00, 1000 = 10.00.

I want to display it normal in vb.net how do I convert that to a regular decimal format?

Answer 1

If the value is stored as a string in the database, you parse it to a number:

Dim n as Integer = Int32.Parse(theString)

Then just convert the number to floating point, and divide by 100:

Dim d as Double = Convert.ToDouble(n) / 100.0

As the / operator always does floating point division in VB, you can let it to an implicit conversion:

Dim d as Dobule = n / 100.0
