I am currently using VB6.Format to format a string such as 2 to 2.000 or from 100.000, but I have been looking on here at examples and haven't been able to figure out how to use the ToString or String.Format to get this working correctly. It needs to be able to take in any number and put three digits after the decimal places such as having 2.2 = 2.200
Thanks for the help in advanced! It needs to be done with the ToString or String.Format.
Use "N3" as in:
X.ToString("N3")
Here are Microsoft's pages on it:

I would use String.Format("{0:F3}", yourvalue)

I'm using ngTagsInput where I want to allow all tags expect a few strings.
In their documentation it appears I can specify allowed tags through a regex but I can seem to work it out - been trying http://regexr.com/ for last hour with no luck.
So for example the strings I dont want to be accepted are:
story and global.
How do i go about to say everything is allowed expect those 2?
So for example storyBreaking is allowed but story is not.
Thanks.
try something like that:
(?<![\w\d])abc(?![\w\d]) where abc is your string to match!
i am trying to use angular ui.mask module to display a full length url based on user entering a section name(suffix)
http://www.example.com/XYZ where 'XYZ' is the user input.
While a mask 'http://www.example.com/AAA' works fine, it does limit the user to entering only 3 character.
Any quick ways to extend the length accepted?
I tried altering the regex to accept variable length, but haven't got this working.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks.
This can be accomplished by using a question mark before any character in the mask that would be optional.
In your case, it would look like:
ui-mask='http://www.example.com/?A?A?A?A?A?A?A?A?A?A?A?A?A?A?A?A'
Better late than never...
Okay before I get right into my question does anyone know if there is a tool for building string formats? What I'm thinking is something like a pretty simple user interface where you choose whether you want to display commas, zero values, dollar signs etc and then it spits out the stringformat for you. If there is one I'd love to know about it. If there's not it's the sort of thing people like me would love!
My question is. What is the string format for displaying an integer with comma separators for thousands, no decimal places and nothing for zero values.
I know the string format for an integer with comma separators and no decimal places is:
StringFormat='0,0.'
And I know the string format for displaying nothing for zero values is:
StringFormat='{}{0:#}'
But combining the two has me stumped. Thanks very much!
I'm not 100% sure what you're after, but after comparing your two string formats, I think I know what you're after... please let me know if I am mistaken.
Once again, you almost had what I think you want... how about trying this:
StringFormat='{}{0:#,#.}'
Or just
StringFormat='#,#.' (Just replace the '0' from your example with '#')
These are equivalent. Please note that again, these will both round the number to the nearest integer.
UPDATE >>>
Here are two very useful links to help you with your string.Formats in the future:
Custom Numeric Format Strings
Custom Date and Time Format Strings
ContentStringFormat is separate dependency property out side of Bindig{} assets.
ContentStringFormat='{}{0:#}'
Example:
<Label Content="{Binding Path=MaxLevelofInvestment}" ContentStringFormat="Amount is {0}" />
I am trying to globalize a simple WPF app. In several questions and/or answers on SO I see one of the following two settings on the binding:
StringFormat=C
StringFormat='{}{0:C}'
What is the difference between these? Are there certain conditions where you would use one over the other?
My understanding is that there is no difference, one is just shorthand and the other explicit. The only condition I can think of where being explicit is beneficial is when you want more control over the format. For example:
StringFormat=Total: {0:C}
Other than that, I'd say keep it simple; XAML is already verbose and shorthand syntax is welcome.
Maybe read up string formatting?

You can use {0:C} in a format string where you are filling in a value:
decimal value = 123.456;
Console.WriteLine("Your account balance is {0:C2}.", value);
while, you use the C as a plain format:
Console.WriteLine(("Your account balance is " + decimal.Parse("24.3200").ToString("C"));
they are functionally equivalent as far as the output. It's just a different way to format the data based on the context of how your using it.

The question is quite simple but I can't find the answer.
I'm using j2me.
I have an integer array of 9 elements.
After all the computations now I want to print it or show it in a form.
It is something like Integer.toString(); for use with an array?
I know I can use a loop but I want to know if it's a faster way.
Use a loop but don't use the String + operator. Use StringBuffer.append().
