I need to know 1 second = ?? milliseconds
when i use Format(Now, "ff") it seems that the maximum value is 96.
I think 1 secound = 100 milliseconds but vb.net says 96
Is "ff" refer to millisecond or what ?!
Thanks for any help
| how many milliseconds in 1 second ?, VB.Net is confusing me | |

1,000 milliseconds makes up one second.
Edit : How is VB saying it's 96? |

the milli prefix means 10^-3, so 1 second = 1000 milliseconds

'f' when used in a style string for the Format(...) function referes to fixed numerical value, not a milli second, you want to pull that value out yourself (from the time), and calulate the milli seconds manually.

Take a closer look yourself. "Milli" means thousandth (with "kilo" meaning thousand). The "Thou" part is irrelevant in this case as it isn't a root element of the words in question...

[right][snapback]586485101[/snapback][/right] CODE 1: Enc1.Text = Format(Now, "ff") If Enc1.Text = 96 Then Exit Sub Else GoTo 1 The maximum value which i reached to exit sub is 96 if "ff" is not a millisecond, so what is it ? |

F Displays fractions of seconds. For example ff will display hundredths of seconds, whereas ffff will display ten-thousandths of seconds. You may use up to seven f symbols in your user-defined format. Use %f if this is the only character in your user-defined numeric format. |

[right][snapback]586485163[/snapback][/right] One thousandth of a metre. Yes, you just proved it yourself. I take Physics and we have to deal with these conversions everyday. It defines whether you get a mark or not in any question, and every mark counts... |
