    In VB.NET, Error: Unable to determine decimal

    I am trying to make a code in VB.Net but I am getting an error while running that program. I am trying to select a few columns from a dbf. While doing this I am getting an error on a column where we have decimal values stored. The Error : Unable to determine decimal is coming. I think that the problem is the values being stored with a "," to separate the decimals. If someone knows the solution please provide me with that.
    Extremely Thanks in Advance..!!!

    Re: In VB.NET, Error: Unable to determine decimal

    It would be better for me to check the exact code of yours and then tell the problem that you are facing. The "Error: Unable to determine decimal" normally comes if you have not declared the decimal properly. Instead of making you more confuse, I would like to tell you that you should provide your code so that I can tell what exact you are missing. Hope that you will post your code soon. Also don't forget to mention where you are getting that error.!!

    Re: In VB.NET, Error: Unable to determine decimal

    Thanks for paying attention to my problem. Here is my code :
    Code:
    Dim dbfdatabase As String = "kmtab3.DBF"
            Dim connectionString As String = "Provider=VFPOLEDB.1;Data Source=\\Fileserver\iis\calculatiemodule\;"
            Dim ds As New DataSet
            Using connection As New OleDb.OleDbConnection(connectionString)
                Dim da As OleDb.OleDbDataAdapter
                Dim sql As String = "SELECT PLAATSVAN, PLAATSTOT, AFSTAND FROM " & dbfdatabase
                da = New OleDb.OleDbDataAdapter(sql, connection)
                da.Fill(ds, "Afstanden")
            End Using
    System.InvalidOperationException was unhandled
    Message= "The provider could not determine the Decimal value." The Decimal column was not available, and the consumer had not yet set a new Decimal value. Please Help..!!!

    I know the same code for that but in PHP. Hope that you will get some clue from that code. Here is the code in PHP :
    Code:
    for($i=1;$i<=$count;$i++) {
             $row = dbase_get_record_with_names ($nixxer,$i);
    $dossier[$i]=array($row['VOLGNUMMER'], $row['RELATIE'], $row['PLAATSVAN'], $row['PLAATSTOT'], $row['AFSTAND'], $row['D'], $row['F'], $row['A']);

    Re: In VB.NET, Error: Unable to determine decimal

    I know the Implict Conversions in VB.NET. I have tried to explain you by giving an example below. In that example, one of type double and the other integer. The double data type is assigned a value and is converted to integer type. When you run the code the result displayed is an integer value, in this case the value displayed is 132 instead of 132.31223. Here is the code for that
    Code:
    Imports System.Console
    Module Module1
    
    Sub Main()
    Dim d=132.31223 as Double
    Dim i as Integer
    i=d
    WriteLine("Integer value is" & i)
    End Sub
    
    End Module
