By default, there are no commas. How did you get such output, exactly?

Solution 1

Please see my comment to the question. You need to pay some effort to specify the format with separators, but by default you already got what you needed. Simple int.ToString() will return what you want or string.Format("{0} ...", myNumericValue)...

my 5,already a good answer from you but i try a slight different approach,:)

Thank you.
I commented on your answer, not quite sure. Even it OP wanted to "convert" string from string, the concern should be expressed, how the format with separators appeared in first place; that could be a root of the problem.

Solution 2

You could try using the parse method of the "single" or "double" type..
If your number is .....00.00 format then simply this

VB

double.Parse("1,000,000.00")

would give you 1000000

Why? I'm not sure input is string, why would it be? There is some change that OP tends to work with strings representing data instead of data itself, like many beginner these days, but we cannot be sure.

yes you're right.in that case int.toString() will do the trick that you already mentioned.:)

Sergey Alexandrovich Kryukov 17-Aug-13 2:58am

Actually, some feedback from OP could help...

Yes,i also think so.It completely depends on him whether he uses number or string.
