I am running into a problem that I cannot seem to solve.
I'm using ADO.NET 2.0 with vb 2005. I have a dataset as a datasource that selects all of the Shoe_Types from a Shoe_Type table. I am creating the data set and doing all of the data binding at runtime.
I then bind each label at run time by doing:
I'm not exactly sure how I should go about formatting the label so that it shows up as currency. The shoe price label will display a value like 4.0000 when I want it to be $4.00. The datatype for shoe price is currency in SQL Server 2005.
Right now I'm doing things like this:
I don't really like doing it that way since it could cause problems if there isn't a shoe type price.
I was wondering if formatting the datacolumn in the ShoeType DataTable to type currency would be best. Anyway...can anyone explain the common practice for this sort of thing? Thanks a ton!!

Right now I'm doing things like this:
Code:
Me.lblDailyCost.Text = FormatCurrency(Me.lblDailyCost.Text, 2)
