Precision of toString

[Guest]

I have an issue with the number of decimal places generated by ToString as documented here: http://board.homeseer.com/showpost.p...&postcount=245

To summarize, the call to hs.DeviceValueByNameEx(lon).ToString() only returns 3 decimal places even though the value has many more. How can I control the output of ToString?

What does hs.DeviceValueByNameEx(lon) return? The ToString() is a vb.net function that shouldn't be adjusting the length at all.

The ToString() function can be overridden.

However, you can try this:

Dim d as Double = hs.DeviceValueByNameEx(lon)
hs.Writeline("Output test", "'" & d & "'"

If that still gives you three decimals then DeviceValueByNameEx does not return more.
