I have a site that uses the FormatCurrency method in ASP.NET 1.1 in the following way:

strTax = FormatCurrency(strTax)

We just installed ASP.NET 2.0 on this server, and I now receive the following error message:

Exception Details: System.FormatException: Input string was not in a correct format.

Source Error:

Line 323: strTax = Left(strTax, Len(strTax) - 6) & "," & Right(strTax, 6)
Line 324: End If
Line 325: strTax = FormatCurrency(strTax) '<<---Problem code
Line 326: 'Format special tax
Line 327: If Len(strSpec_tax) > 2 Then

So if anyone can help me to change my code so that the FormatCurrency method is used in the proper way for ASP.NET 2.0, that would be great. Thanks for any help.

I've solved the problem by adding the following if statement around the problem code:

If strTax <> 0 Then
   If Len(strTax) > 2 Then
      strTax = Left(strTax, Len(strTax) - 2) & "." & Right(strTax, 2)
   End If
   If Len(strTax) > 6 Then
      strTax = Left(strTax, Len(strTax) - 6) & "," & Right(strTax, 6)
   End If
End If
strTax = FormatCurrency(strTax)

The original code couldn't handle a zero value, so this solved the problem. Thanks anyway.:)
