Returns an expression formatted as a currency value using the currency symbol defined in the system control panel.

Public Function FormatCurrency (Expression As Object, Optional NumDigitsAfterDecimal As Integer = -1, Optional IncludeLeadingDigit As TriState = Microsoft.VisualBasic.TriState.UseDefault, Optional UseParensForNegativeNumbers As TriState = Microsoft.VisualBasic.TriState.UseDefault, Optional GroupDigits As TriState = Microsoft.VisualBasic.TriState.UseDefault) As String

Parameters

Expression: Object

Required. Expression to be formatted.

NumDigitsAfterDecimal: Int32

Optional. Numeric value indicating how many places are displayed to the right of the decimal. Default value is -1, which indicates that the computer's regional settings are used.

IncludeLeadingDigit: TriState

Optional. TriState enumeration that indicates whether or not a leading zero is displayed for fractional values. See "Remarks" for values.

UseParensForNegativeNumbers: TriState

Optional. TriState enumeration that indicates whether or not to place negative values within parentheses. See "Remarks" for values.

GroupDigits: TriState

Optional. TriState enumeration that indicates whether or not numbers are grouped using the group delimiter specified in the computer's regional settings. See "Remarks" for values.

Returns

String

An expression formatted as a currency value using the currency symbol defined in the system control panel.

Exceptions

ArgumentException

Number of digits after decimal point is greater than 99.

InvalidCastException

Type is not numeric.

Examples

The following example illustrates the use of the FormatCurrency function.

Dim testDebt As Double = -4456.43
Dim testString As String
' Returns "($4,456.43)".
testString = FormatCurrency(testDebt, , , TriState.True, TriState.True)

Remarks

When one or more optional arguments are omitted, the computer's matching regional-settings values are used instead.

The position of the currency symbol relative to the currency value is determined by the system's regional settings.

Note

All settings information comes from the locale of the application. By default, that will be the locale set in the control panel. However, it may be changed programmatically by using the .NET Framework, except leading zero, which comes from the Number tab.

The IncludeLeadingDigit, UseParensForNegativeNumbers, and GroupDigits arguments take the following TriState enumeration values.

Value	Description
`TriState.True`	True
`TriState.False`	False
`TriState.UseDefault`	The computer's regional settings
