I was wondering if there is a simple way of displaying 1,000,000 instead of 1000000.

What would you have to do in order to break the number up to make it easier to read larger numbers.

I am sure I could come up with some sort of an IF statement to handle it, but that seems to be an overkill for this.

Stay away from FormatNumber(), this is a legacy function left over from the VB6 days, stick with the native libraries within the .Net Library. There are a couple way of accomplishing this with String.Format(). Here are a couple examples

vb

Dim i As Integer = 1000000
Console.WriteLine(String.Format("{0:0,0}",i)
'This result would be 1,000,000


vb

Dim i As Integer = 1000000
Console.WriteLine(String.Format("{0:#,#}",i)
'This result would be 1,000,000


vb

Dim i As Integer = 1000000
Console.WriteLine(String.Format("{0:n}",i)
'This result would be 1,000,000



You could also use ToString() and pass in the same formats:

vb

Dim i As Integer = 1000000
Console.WriteLine(i.ToString("#,#")
'This result would be 1,000,000


Hope that helps smile.gif

When I tried to use all of those they still gave me 1000000.

All I did was Button_Click (inserted the code you provided) and tried to output that number in a label and a Msgbox and still gave me no comma's.

I am new to VB, well I am new to programming all together, about the only thing I know well is Basic, and that was in high school.

Edit: On a side note PsychoCoder, I hope you are doing something great with your gift of programming. Even if its not great to someones standards, I at least hope your wallet is getting fat from it.

Well you can't copy exactly what he wrote, that is just an example. To use it with a textbox...

vb

Dim i as Integer = 1000000
textbox1.Text = String.Format("{0:0,0}",i)  
'Or
textbox1.Text = i.ToString("0,0")


That help?

What about the 'masked textbox' that comes standard in the toolbox? You input a number mask and budda-bing-badda-boom.
