Hi,

What you want is to convert this string to double and then display it in your format. To achieve this you may try this code:

VB

Private Sub Form1_Load(sender As Object, e As EventArgs)
    Dim strValue As String = "123456789"
    Dim d As Double = 0
    If [Double].TryParse(strValue, d) Then
        MessageBox.Show(d.ToString("0,0.00", CultureInfo.InvariantCulture))
    End If
End Sub

Solution 1

Turning that string into a double is done with Double.TryParse

However, that other requirement is NOT a double, it's a local representation of that double, in a string, to two DP

Locale dictates grouping, grouping separator and DP character, i.e. that string would be 123.456.789,00 in France

You'd use FormatNumber[^] to get that
