Currency value into words

Question

Hi all. i am working on a reciept generating form, So when i enter the amount recieved for example " 30,000 " into my " textbox1.text " i would also like to convert the value in textbox1 into words that is in my " textbox2.text " will show " Thirty Thousand Shillings only "

Is there any code that can convert my currency value into its words equivalent.

Thanks for reading my inquiry.

I'm not sure what you're doing wrong Marvin but if you paste the following method into your form class then it should work: public static string NumberToText( int number bool isUK) { if (number == 0) return Zero ; string and = isUK ? and  :  ; // deals with UK or US numbering if (number == -2147483648) return Minus Two Billion One Hundred  + and + Forty Seven Million Four Hundred  + and + Eighty Three Thousand  + Six Hundred  + and + Forty Eight ; int [] num = new int [4]; int first = 0; int u h t; System.Text. StringBuilder sb = new System.Text. StringBuilder (); if (number { sb.Append( Minus  ); number = -number; } string [] words0 = {   One   Two   Three   Four   Five   Six   Seven   Eight   Nine  }; string [] words1 = { Ten   Eleven   Twelve   Thirteen   Fourteen   Fifteen   Sixteen   Seventeen   Eighteen   Nineteen  }; string [] words2 = { Twenty   Thirty   Forty   Fifty   Sixty   Seventy   Eighty   Ninety  }; string [] words3 = { Thousand   Million   Billion  }; num[0] = number % 1000; // units num[1] = number / 1000; num[2] = number / 1000000; num[1] = num[1] - 1000 * num[2]; // thousands num[3] = number / 1000000000; // billions num[2] = num[2] - 1000 * num[3]; // millions for ( int i = 3; i > 0; i--) { if (num[i] != 0) { first = i; break ; } } for ( int i = first; i >= 0; i--) { if (num[i] == 0) continue ; u = num[i] % 10; // ones t = num[i] / 10; h = num[i] / 100; // hundreds t = t - 10 * h; // tens if (h > 0) sb.Append(words0[h] + Hundred  ); if (u > 0 || t > 0) { if (h > 0 || i if (t == 0) sb.Append(words0[u]); else if (t == 1) sb.Append(words1[u]); else sb.Append(words2[t - 2] + words0[u]); } if (i != 0) sb.Append(words3[i - 1]); } return sb.ToString().TrimEnd(); }

For a simple 'number to words' converter check out my article below: http://www.c-sharpcorner.com/UploadFile/b942f9/6362/ For your particular application you'd need to do: int number; string text = textBox1.Text.Trim().Replace( ); bool isValid = int.TryParse(text out number); if (!isValid) { MessageBox.Show(Not a valid number. Please amend); textBox1.Focus(); return; // assuming you're in some eventhandler } textBox2.Text = NumberToText(number false) +  Schillings only;
