Formated string or double?

[bojan.pikl]

Hi, I am making a calculator. I have a double wich I am parsing to
string and writing to label. How could I make that double or string
would be only 14 length + space for negative sign (-).
So I need formated double or String.

Thanks for all your help,
stric

label.Text = result.ToString().SubString(0, 14);

label.Text = result.ToString().SubString(0, 14);

Hmm, the problem is that this will just cut the last numbers off, and
the result will probably be wrong. It should be more like to round the
number on 14 long.

Just limit the number of chars typed in your control by regexp on counting
items in KeyPress (take into acoount that in could be set via clipboard)

Hmm, could you tell me more about that. I can't find anything about
regexp in C#. And what about when I comput the result it may become
larger number than that.

For example:

double num;
num.ToString("0.00000000E+000")

Hmm, I don't want exponental form (like 2,345E3) and I don't want fixed
number od decimals.

Is this possible?

See Regex Class.
