    <p>I think I have finnaly found my answer to different question but the program doest like any of my formats with this following code. I need to format this line:</p> <p><code>Dim ProductString As String = txtProductID.Text.PadRight(12, " ") &amp; "" &amp; txtDescription.Text.PadRight(50, " ") &amp; "" &amp; txtQuantityAmount.Text.PadRight(7, " ") &amp; "" &amp; txtPriceAmount.Text.PadLeft(9, " ").ToString</code></p> <p>Specifically, I need <code>txtPriceAmount.Text.PadLeft(9, " ").ToString</code> to accept currency Format ("C2"). What am I doing wrong??</p> <pre><code> Private Sub PurchaseToolStripMenuItem_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles PurchaseToolStripMenuItem.Click 'Test to determine if a product was found. If txtDescription.Text = String.Empty Then 'Cannot purchase, product was not found MessageBox.Show("You must select a valid product before purchasing.", "Cannot Purchase", MessageBoxButtons.OK, MessageBoxIcon.Exclamation) txtProductID.Focus() txtProductID.SelectAll() Else 'Can purchase the product Dim ProductString As String = txtProductID.Text.PadRight(12, " ") &amp; "" &amp; txtDescription.Text.PadRight(50, " ") &amp; "" &amp; txtQuantityAmount.Text.PadRight(7, " ") &amp; "" &amp; txtPriceAmount.Text.PadLeft(9, " ").ToString lstPurchaseItems.Items.Add(ProductString) ''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''' 'Accumulate the total value of this customer order 'and display it to the output textbox TotalDueDecimal += (txtPriceAmount.Text.ToString * txtQuantityAmount.Text) txtTotalDueAmount.Text = TotalDueDecimal.ToString("C2") 'TotalDueTextBox.Text = QuantityTextBox.Text * TotalDueDecimal.ToString("C2") ''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''' 'Accumulate total sales by product to an array Dim IndexInteger As Integer = cboProductIDLookup.SelectedIndex ProductSalesTotalDecimal(IndexInteger) += (txtPriceAmount.Text * txtQuantityAmount.Text) 'Here you can clear the form of product info if you think 'that is a good way to do the processing cboProductIDLookup.SelectedIndex = -1 txtProductID.Clear() txtDescription.Clear() txtPriceAmount.Clear() txtQuantityAmount.Clear() txtProductID.Focus() End If End Sub </code></pre>

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
