Do you want to force that as a mask? If so you could use a MaskedTextBox with ##.##% as mask, although that won't allow 100.00 as input.

Actually i ahd an assignment everything is done and i just wanted to show the discount percentage in percentage format but when i put the command as: dim FirstDiscountPercent as single
FirstDiscountPercent=Csng(txt.FDiscPercent.text)
txt.FDiscPercent.text=FormatPercent(FirstDiscountPercent)
when i debug and put the valuess it shows 20% as 2000.00%

That's by design. FormatPercent will convert the number to a percentage by multiplying by 100. If you are passing the converted percentage, then you need to divide by 100 to make up for this multiplication. It may be far easier to append a % character :-)

how u do that % character?

I used an auto-converter to convert C# to VB, so I am not sure if this syntax will work:

txt.FDiscPercent.text = disCountPercent.ToString + "%"

What line of code gives you this error?

waqi19 21-Feb-11 20:47pm

PrintForm1.PrinterSettings.DefaultPageSettings.Landscape = True

One of those properties is returning null (or Nothing in VB). But this seems to be a different issue, so please start a new QA thread for this. Thanks.
