Well I am back after a little time away from this board...and i have come back to ask another question.

Does anyone know how to convert a number such as 9.099999000999999 to just 9.09 in VB.NET. Any ideas? I am completely lost

You are going to want to look at topics with regard to "setting precision" You can set the precision to whatever you desire. Wish I could help you directly, but as you remember... I have never used VB.

The primary purpose of the DATA statement is to give names to constants; instead of referring to pi as 3.141592653589793 at every appearance, the variable PI can be given that value with a DATA statement and used instead of the longer form of the constant. This also simplifies modifying the program, should the value of pi change.

I would help you but I am more familiar with VB6.0, in my opinion VB.NET has completely changed from all previous versions. I think we are all in agreement when I say it was a sudden, stupid change on the part of the Micro-Machine (microsoft).

easiest would probably be this ...
Code: Select all
        Dim s As String = "9.0999990009999987"
        Dim x As Double = Convert.ToDouble(s.Substring(0, 4))

        MessageBox.Show(x) '/// this will return 9.09

Code: Select all
math.round(9.0999990009999987,2)
or
cdec(left("9.0999990009999987",4))


It returns (9.10), the second(9.09) (I think, check the syntax, might have to flip the numbers.

Code: Select all
Math.Round(9.0999990009999987, 2)
(which is presumably what you will want to use, because it takes a numeric value to begin with) will always round to the nearest place, so your question is (in terms of this code and in fact mathematically) incorrect. It is not possible to correctly return 9.09, when in fact the number is far closer to 9.1. If you wish to get 9.09, it is recommended that you do this...
Code: Select all
CSng(Left(CStr(9.0999990009999987), 4))
, which is almost the same as Smartcat995's code, but begins with a numeric value.
