<div>
You can do something like this<br />
&nbsp;<br />
<br />

<pre><code id="code-293661">        Dim value As Integer = 50
        Debug.WriteLine(FormatPercent(value / 100))
</code></pre>
</div>


You can do something like this
 



        Dim value As Integer = 50
        Debug.WriteLine(FormatPercent(value / 100))


<div>
I Think you are asking a Type casting question<br />
<br />
also you might want to sanitize the input to make sure it is within range of percentages (less than 1 and greater than 0)<br />

<pre><code id="code-293669">Function getValue(TextBox tb)
    Dim percent As Double
    
    'Cast String to double
    percent = CDBL(tb.value)
    IF( (percent/100) &lt;= 1 and (percent/100) &gt;= 0 )
        getValue = percent
    ELSE
       'invalid percentage value
    ENDIF
ENDF
</code></pre>
</div>

Hi. &nbsp;I basically want a text box entry to be a percentage. So, if the user enters 100 its 100 percent of a value. 50 would be 50 percent (.50) and so on. &nbsp;In the database its simply a decimal. &nbsp;How would I go about doing this?<br />
<br />
Thanks!!!

TextBox as Percentage

Visual Basic is Microsoft’s event-driven programming language and integrated development environment (IDE) for its Component Object Model (COM) programming model. It is relatively easy to learn and use because of its graphical development features and BASIC heritage. It has been replaced with VB.NET, and is very similar to VBA (Visual Basic for Applications), the programming language for the Microsoft Office product line.

Visual Basic Classic

Visual Basic .NET (VB.NET) is an object-oriented programming language implemented on the .NET framework, but also supported on other platforms such as Mono and Silverlight. Microsoft launched VB.NET as the successor to the Visual Basic language. Though it is similar in syntax to  Visual Basic pre-2002, it is not the same technology,
