Hey, everyone. I am writing a program for a friend that is currently in college. He is taking a Physics course, and he asked me to write a program that can convert a lot of units to/from one another. But, the problem is, some of the conversions involve scientific notation. I was wondering how I could convert to sci. not. using C#. I use VS .NET 2003 Pro. Thanks in advance, Matt U.

Scientific notation? Sorry but I do not understand your problem. Can you give me an example?
In my calculator I just write " 1._bar ► _dyne/_cm^2 " and I get " 1.e6 dyne/cm^2 " isn't that enough?

[attention] Do you mean something like this:?
Console.WriteLine("{0:E}",.016);
output : 1.600000E-002

just tell him to use google:

200 bar in dyne per cm^2
2 miles per hour in kilometers per second
50 J in eV
300 W in J/hour
