    <p>I am using Visual Studio 2012 and Visual Basic. My unit converter gives me an answer in scientific notation instead of the actual number that I am looking for. This occurs during the centimeter to mile conversion due to its multiple places past the decimal point. How can I format the output to give me the actual number instead of the notation? Currently, it is giving me this result: 1 centimeter = 6.214E-06 mile. I want this result: 1 centimeter = 0.000006214 mile. Thanks in advance, code is below.</p> <pre><code>Private Function GetLength1(ByVal dblLengthUnit1 As Double) As Double Dim dblResult1 As Double If cboUnitType.SelectedItem = "Length" Then ' converts centimeter to... If cbo1.SelectedItem = "Centimeter" Then If cbo2.SelectedItem = "Kilometer" Then dblResult1 = (dblLengthUnit1 * 0.0001) ElseIf cbo2.SelectedItem = "Meter" Then dblResult1 = (dblLengthUnit1 * 0.01) ElseIf cbo2.SelectedItem = "Centimeter" Then dblResult1 = txtUnit1.Text ElseIf cbo2.SelectedItem = "Millimeter" Then dblResult1 = (dblLengthUnit1 * 10) ElseIf cbo2.SelectedItem = "Mile" Then dblResult1 = (dblLengthUnit1 * 0.000006214) ElseIf cbo2.SelectedItem = "Yard" Then dblResult1 = (dblLengthUnit1 * 0.010936133) ElseIf cbo2.SelectedItem = "Foot" Then dblResult1 = (dblLengthUnit1 * 0.032808399) ElseIf cbo2.SelectedItem = "Inch" Then dblResult1 = (dblLengthUnit1 * 0.393700787) End If End If Return dblResult1.ToString.Trim End Function Private Sub txtUnit1_TextChanged(sender As Object, e As EventArgs) Handles txtUnit1.TextChanged If suppressTextBox1TextChanged = False Then Double.TryParse(txtUnit1.Text, dblUnit1) ' if String.Empty If txtUnit1.Text = "" Then txtUnit2.Text = "" Else ' trigger the function suppressTextBox2TextChanged = True txtUnit2.Text = GetLength1(dblUnit1) suppressTextBox2TextChanged = False End If 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.
