From: Sheldon on 12 Feb 2010 11:24 Hello - For some reason, I am unable to type 0.000 or 0.100 in code. Everytime I do it, it's automatically stripped away to 0.0 or 0.1. Is there a setting or something I need to change? -- Sheldon

Only strings have. -- Armin

The only way I know of is to turn off the formatting from the menu (Tools -> Options, then Text Editor -> Basic -> VB Specific, then uncheck "Pretty listing (reformatting of code)"). That's going to turn off a lot of other formatting that you may want to keep, however. If you just gotta have trailing zeros in your code (you don't need them, they don't control precision or anything) and you don't care about performance hits, you can enter your numbers as strings and tell the compiler to convert them, like this: Dim X As Double = CDbl("0.100") or this: Dim Result As Boolean = MyFunction(CDbl("0.000"), CDbl("0.100")) Which is, of course, clunky as all get-out, but everything would line up nicely. I've done that for little one-shot analysis programs where I wanted to make sure my numbers were set up right, but I wouldn't do it in production code. -- Jack

On my system (German), the decimal separator is a ",". The following code Dim dec As Decimal dec = CDec("1.00") MsgBox(dec.ToString()) does not show "1.00", but "100", because in Germany the period is used only for separating thousands (on English system that would be ","). The proper way to do it would be: Dim dec1 As Decimal dec1 = Convert.ToDecimal("100.00", _ Globalization.CultureInfo.GetCultureInfo("en-us")) MsgBox(dec1.ToString()) On my system this returns "100,00" as expected. The question is just if you want to take this effort just to have the ".00" visible in your code. If it's just for you to remind you of those trailing zeros, why don't you just write dec = 100 '100.00 Best regards, Martin
