[Bill Nguyen]

How do I get the absolute value of an expression in VB.NET? The new ABS
function looks scary to me!

Thanks
Bill

Bill,

How do I get the absolute value of an expression in VB.NET?

Have you tried System.Math.Abs?

The new ABS
function looks scary to me!

Or are you referring to a different ABS function?


Dim x As Integer
x = Math.Abs(-1)

Alternatively you can import System.Math:

Imports System.Math

Dim x As Integer
x = Abs(-1)

Hope this helps
Jay

System.Math.Abs(<numeric expression here>)

What's scary about it?
