Thread: Coding Question

Hi All,

I'm looking for a little bit of code help.
I have the following, which produces a pipe seperated list of values:-

C#/VB.NET Code:


     if (amtlist == String.Empty) amtlist = (i.m_Price*100).ToString();
     else amtlist += "|" + (i.m_Price*100); 


An example output might look like this :-

C#/VB.NET Code:

262.0000|573.5700|624.5000|67.0000 


I'm looking to modify it so that it removes the decimal point & anything following it, giving an output like this :-

C#/VB.NET Code:

262|573|624|67 


It looks like a fairly simple tweak but unfortunately, this is not my language....

Can anyone help?

If you know for sure that i.m_Price will always have a decimal in it, you can do something like this after you've turned it into a string but before you add it to amtlist:

Code:

i.m_Price = i.m_Price.Substring(0, i.m_Price.IndexOf("."));

Thanks Scott

Looks (to my amatuer eye) like I might need a minus 1 in there like this?

C#/VB.NET Code:

i.m_Price = i.m_Price.Substring(0, (i.m_Price.IndexOf(".")-1)); 


Also - in the same xmlpackage, I'm having the following problem.
I have the following code :-

C#/VB.NET Code:

     if (namelist == String.Empty) namelist = i.m_ProductName;
     else namelist += "|" + i.m_ProductName; 


I'm trying to insert a UrlEncode as indicated below :-

C#/VB.NET Code:

     if (namelist == String.Empty) namelist = UrlEncode(i.m_ProductName);
     else namelist += "|" + UrlEncode(i.m_ProductName); 


But it keeps throwing context errors, I've tried all of the following to no avail :-

C#/VB.NET Code:

System.Web.HttpContext.Current.Server.UrlEncode(i.m_ProductName)
System.Web.Server.UrlEncode(i.m_ProductName)
System.Web.UrlEncode(i.m_ProductName)
HttpContext.Current.Server.UrlEncode(i.m_ProductName)
Server.UrlEncode(i.m_ProductName) 


Is anyone able to offer any help?

Nope, don't need the -1. The index count starts at 0 so counting to the decimal (1 place after the chars you want to keep) is actually going to count the number of chars you want.

Not sure on the context errors, I'll have a couple of the guys here take a look.

Ahh - Genius!

Thanks Scott.
