Hi

I have this in my code file right now:

Partial Class courseTabs
    Inherits System.Web.UI.UserControl
 
  Public Function getDuration() As String
      Dim value As String = XPath("duration")
      Return String.Concat("<li><strong>Duration: ", value , "</strong>.</li>")
  End Function
 
   Public Function getMOPrice() As String
        Dim value As String = XPath("prices/price[@vehicle='mo']")
       If value Is Nothing Then
             Return String.Empty
        Else
            Return String.Concat(" <li>Price: US$ ", value, ".00 per Student.")
         End If
    End Function
  
    
    Protected Sub Page_Load(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Me.Load
 
    End Sub
End Class
 

How do i convert getMOPrice to a double?  In this section i have added the unit info but in another section i wanted to take the value and multiply is by the sales tax = 18%.

I found this on the msn site:    ' Dim returnValue As Decimal
  ' returnValue = XmlConvert.ToDecimal(s)

but have no idea if it applies or how to apply it to my situation.

 This is the xml snippet:

 <product code="mo" name="MO Course">
      <duration>1 Day or 3 Days</duration>
      <visible>true</visible>
      <prices>
        <price vehicle="mo1">155</price>
        <price vehicle="mo3">465</price>
      </prices>
      <courseSummary>Stuff.</courseSummary>
      <courseUrl>link</courseUrl>
    </product>

Any help is greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

Hi taniafarmer ,

I think the Class Convert will help.

        string str = "mo1";
        XmlDocument doc = new XmlDocument();
        doc.Load(Server.MapPath("XMLFile69.xml"));
        XmlNode node = doc.SelectSingleNode("//price[@vehicle = '"+str +"']");
        double val = Convert.ToDouble(node.InnerText);
