Returns an expression formatted as a percentage (that is, multiplied by 100) with a trailing % character.

Function FormatPercent(
   ByVal Expression As Object,
   Optional ByVal NumDigitsAfterDecimal As Integer = -1,
   Optional ByVal IncludeLeadingDigit As TriState = TriState.UseDefault,
   Optional ByVal UseParensForNegativeNumbers As TriState = TriState.UseDefault,
   Optional ByVal GroupDigits As TriState = TriState.UseDefault
) As String

Parameters

Expression
Required. Expression to be formatted.

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

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

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

Settings

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

Constant	Description
TriState.True	True
TriState.False	False
TriState.Default	The computer's regional settings

Exceptions

Exception type	Error number	Condition
InvalidCastException	13	Type is not numeric.

See the "Error number" column if you are upgrading Visual Basic 6.0 applications that use unstructured error handling. (You can compare the error number against the Number Property (Err Object).) However, when possible, you should consider replacing such error control with Structured Exception Handling Overview for Visual Basic.

Remarks

When one or more optional arguments are omitted, the values for omitted arguments are provided by the locale settings.

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.

Example

This example illustrates the use of the FormatPercent function.

Dim TestNumber As Single = 0.76

Dim TestString As String = FormatPercent(TestNumber)
