Solution 1

VB.NET

value.ToString("P")

will actually display the value as a percentage:

value   display
0.15    15%
15      1500%

If your goal is to transform 15 to 15%, then you first have to divide the value by 100:

VB.NET

theTextBox.Text = (value / 100).ToString("P")

Sorry, I don't undersand your concern. Whatever the value, it will be saved. I you want to save a 15% value, then the float value you have to save is 0.15. Do not confound the value (0.15) with its string representation (15%).

sorry for that.. what ever the value which is stored in database while displaying just we need to add percent sign and show in textbox.

Again: just save 0.15 as value in the database, and display it as percentage if you need.
