How to remove decimals from a value in VB.Net

In VB.NET, you can remove decimal places from a number by converting it to an integer or by using various formatting methods. Here are some ways to achieve this:

Using Integer Conversion

If you want to completely remove decimal places and convert a decimal number to an integer, you can use the CInt() function. This function truncates the decimal portion of the number.

Dim decimalNumber As Decimal = 5.75 Dim integerResult As Integer = CInt(decimalNumber) ' Result will be 6

Using Math.Floor

The Math.Floor() function can also be used to truncate the decimal part of a number and obtain the largest integer less than or equal to the number.

Dim decimalNumber As Decimal = 5.75 Dim integerResult As Integer = Math.Floor(decimalNumber) ' Result will be 5

Using String Formatting

To format a decimal number without decimal places, you can convert it to a string using a format specifier. The "N0" format specifier specifies zero decimal places.

Dim decimalNumber As Decimal = 5.75 Dim formattedString As String = decimalNumber.ToString("N0") ' Result will be "6"

Using Type Conversion (For Integer Output)

If you want to keep the result as an integer, you can use type conversion in combination with Math.Round() or Math.Floor().

Dim decimalNumber As Decimal = 5.75 Dim integerResult As Integer = CInt(Math.Floor(decimalNumber)) ' Result will be 5

Conclusion

To remove decimal places from a number in VB.NET, you can either use type conversion functions like CInt() or mathematical functions like Math.Floor() to truncate the decimal part, or format the number as a string with zero decimal places using a format specifier like "N0." These methods allow you to obtain the integer or formatted representation of the number without decimal places.
