Answer 1

Hi Williams,

Use this code -

LABEL1.text = "4.264544"

Label2.Text = Math.Round(CDbl(Label1.Text), 2)

Now you have in Label2 is -

LABEL2.text = "4.26"

so, you can set the precision after decimal by changing 2, 

thanks.

Sid,

I'd do it a bit differently. If you're showing text then just set it like you want, but I suspect that what you're showing is based on some number coming from somewhere else. If I'm right on that, then use the overload of the .ToString to format it.

For instance:

Dim thisDbl as Double = 4.264544
Label1.Text = thisDbl.ToString("f2")

That's "fixed, show two decimal points.

I hope that helps. :)
