Check the help file for Format and select the document for formatting numbers to strings. You can use the ToString() method with various arguments. For example F (fixed) will display your numbers with 2 decimal places. C will format currency with a $ added. The Console.WriteLine() method also uses the ToString method but with a slightly different syntax. Here's an example of both. The output will be 234.00 : Sub Main() Dim num As Double = 234 Dim snum As String snum = num.ToString(F) Console.WriteLine(snum) Console.WriteLine( {0:F} num) End Sub
