Decimal's in a Label.

[Michaelk]

How can i cancel out the decimal places in a label?
For example, the textbox "Maths.Text" runs a calculation and then gives the value to the label "Results". But the final value is 123.4444444 or something. How can i make the value to be 123, and to cancel out the decimals?

Thanks,

Is this Results label databound? If so, look into the Binding.Format event here:

If you're just setting the value manually, try this:

Results.Text = (x / y).ToString("n0")

For more info on formatting numbers, see these links:

What i've got is this:

 [size=2]

[size=2]maths.Text = (GetWMIDetails("win32_computersystem", "totalphysicalmemory") / 1048576)

txtRAM.Text = maths.Text + " MBytes"

[/size][/size]

Maths.Text is a Textbox that performs the division.
txtRAM.Text is a label that i want to display the final results.

But at the moment it displays a number like this 511.242522225, can i remove the decimals to make it just 511?

Got it working, just had to fiddle with it a bit.
