Financial Calculations on ASP.NET forms

[Leszek]

Hello,

I need to do some financial calculations on my ASP.NET forms. Under Visual
Basic it was pretty straightforward - I just used built-in functions such as
PV() (principal value) or PMT().
How can I access those functions under .NET and display them on ASP.NET
forms?

Any ideas?
Thanks,
Leszek Taratuta

Great!
I am just creating a small application using these functions.
By the way,
Is there any possibility to use them with C#? It is my language of choice
and now I would be forced to create a VB.NET assembly to use in C# projects.
It this a right way to do this?

Thanks,

Hi Leszek,

Thank you for your update.

In a C# project, please do the following steps.

1. Select Project->"Add Reference...".

2. In the .NET tab, add the reference of "Microsoft Visual Basic .NET
Runtime".

Then we can use the Pmt function like the following in this C# project.

Microsoft.VisualBasic.Financial.Pmt
