Parameters

Expression
Object

Required. Expression to be formatted.

NumDigitsAfterDecimal
Int32

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

IncludeLeadingDigit
TriState

Optional. TriState constant that indicates whether or not a leading zero displays for fractional values. See "Settings" for values.

UseParensForNegativeNumbers
TriState

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

GroupDigits
TriState

Optional. TriState constant that indicates whether or not numbers are grouped using the group delimiter specified in the locale settings. See "Settings" for values.

Examples

This example illustrates the use of the FormatPercent function.

Dim testNumber As Single = 0.76
' Returns "76.00%".
Dim testString As String = FormatPercent(testNumber)

Remarks

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.

The IncludeLeadingDigit, UseParensForNegativeNumbers, and GroupDigits arguments have the following settings.
