I am very new to visual basic 2010 and am really struggling with it. My assignment is a fat gram calculator and the example is there are 200 calories in the food and there are 8 grams of fat in the food. The calculator gives the percentage of calories that come from fat. I have the equation and the code written but when I calculate I get .36% instead of 36.00%. Any help is appreciated.
Here is my code:
Private Sub Button1_Click( ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click
Dim decCalories As Decimal
Dim decFat As Decimal
Dim decPercent As Decimal
Dim decX As Decimal
lblPercent.Visible = True
Try
decCalories = CDec(txtCalories.Text)
decFat = CDec(txtFat.Text)
decX = decFat * 9
decPercent = decX / decCalories
If decPercent < 30 then
lblError.Text = "Low Fat Food"
End If
If decFat > decCalories then
lblError.Text = "Calorie or Fat Grams Entered Incorrectly"
End If
lblPercent.Text = decPercent.ToString("n2") & "%"
Catch
lblError.Text = "Please try again. Enter a number"
End Try
End Sub
