In my app I parse a value from xml (string) to a double. The value in the xml happens to have the dot as a fraction seperator whereas the system takes the current system settings and can have a different separator (dev system takes the comma for example). Is there a way to tell double.TryParse() the dot is the fraction separator? Should...

I'm trying to parse a string that was generated by an NSDateFormatter using another NSDateFormatter with the same format.

I am using Qt and want to print a data value (double) in a label; however, the trailing zeros are lopped off. I know in C I can use printf("%0.1f", data) to preserve the trailing zeros. I looked at QString's arg function but that only allows the overall field width to be set. setNum and number each allow the precision to be set but tha...
How do I write a function that formats a string with decimals digits, without trailing 0's or unnecessary 9's? Given that decimals is 2, here's what I expect: 0.999 -> 1.0 0.99 -> 0.99 1.01 -> 1.01 1.001 -> 1.0 123 -> 123.0 0 -> 0.0 0.1 -> 0.1 (negatives as you'd expect) Here's what I have so far, but it's pretty ugly code. Is ther...

How do I in .NET format a number as percentage without showing the percentage sign? If I have the number 0.13 and use the format string {0:P0} the output is 13 %. However I would like to get 13 instead, without having to multiply the number by 100 and using the format string {0:N0}. (Background: In ASP.NET I have a GridView with a Bou...

And so I'm building up the strings like so: string someString = string.Format("{0}{1}{2}: Some message.

For some reason, ASP.NET code on my server is now returning a format of dd/MM/yyyy instead of MM/dd/yyyy when I use DateTime.ToString("g"). Rather than replacing all the "g" format strings with a concrete format string or CultureInfo argument, is there a way I can just override, across the application, the default "short date" format? ...

I'm making a fairly basic rails app and I was wondering what's the best way to strip undesirable html from text field (basically, all I'm looking to preserve are links and no more than 2 linebreaks).

What is a culture-invariant way of constructing a string such that the Javascript Date() constructor can parse it and create the proper date object? I have tried these format strings which don't work (using C# to generate the strings): clientDate.ToString(); // gives: "11/05/2009 17:35:23 +00:00" clientDate.ToString("MMM' 'dd', 'yyyy'...
