C# Double to TextBox.Text?

[melegant]

Having fun fun trying to find the best way to convert Double values to fit into Text property of TextBox..

 

Ex.

 

//txtNum1 and txtNum2 are two TexBoxes on a form that are adding money

 

 

txtTSCTax.Text = Double.Parse(Convert.ToString((Convert.ToDouble(txtNum1.Text) + Convert.ToDouble(txtNub2.Text)))).ToString("C");

 

 

 

This can't be the way..it just can't be.

 

 

Thanks

The MSDN docmentation for Double.ToString(string) makes no reference to a parameter

of "C". What are you trying to do here?

 

Also, the code is redundant because you're converting a double to a string and then

back to a double again.

 

This should be sufficient:

txtTSCTax.Text = (Convert.ToDouble(txtNum1.Text) + Convert.ToDouble(txtNub2.Text)).ToString();

It may be easier if you explain what you are trying to achieve as the code you posted looks very convoluted Edited March 16, 2007 by PlausiblyDamp

Bucky...the "C" is a format code. Check the System.Globalization.NumberFormatInfo class. The format codes apply a mask when casting a value type to a string....very handy. C is for currency.

how about

double d = double.Parse(txtNum1.Text) + double.Parse(txtNum2.Text);
txtTSCTax.Text = d.ToString("C");
