How do I get the absolute value of an expression in VB.NET? The new ABS
function looks scary to me!

Thanks
Bill

Why scary?

value2 = math.abs(value1)

Have you tried System.Math.Abs?

Or are you referring to a different ABS function?


Dim x As Integer
x = Math.Abs(-1)

Alternatively you can import System.Math:

Imports System.Math

Dim x As Integer
x = Abs(-1)

Hope this helps

System.Math.Abs(<numeric expression here>)

What's scary about it? :-)
