Problem with CStr in VB .net

  I'm not sure I fully understand you question which means I may not be answering the correction question.
  
  IF what you are saying that you are not happy with a displayed output, lookat the Format statement. You'll like it!

  The following code should produce the same results for you.
  
  

  Public Class Form1     Private Sub Form1_Load(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load         Dim s_string As String         Dim int1 As Integer         Dim int2 As Integer         Dim int3 As Integer         Dim int4 As Integer         s_string = "1.2"         int1 = Math.Round(CSng(s_string), 0)   'produces value of 1         int2 = CInt(s_string)   'produces value of 1         int3 = Val(s_string)  'Produces value of 1         s_string = "5"         int1 = Math.Round(CSng(s_string), 0)   'produces value of 5         int2 = CInt(s_string)   'produces value of 5         int3 = Val(s_string)  'Produces value of 5         int4 = Integer.Parse("4.3", New System.Globalization.CultureInfo("En-us")) 'Should produce 4     End Sub End Class

  
  
  If the first 3 integers don't work, but int4 works, then it's probably your current culture settings.
  if it's only a few specific lines, then i'd suggest using the technique used with int4.
  You can set a application global culture setting aswell.
  
  

  System.Threading.Thread.CurrentThread.CurrentCulture = System.Globalization.CultureInfo.InvariantCulture

  Thanks for your reply.
  Sorry for the vague question.
  For example I have a number
   num = 12.32 (from Oracle database with Number (12,3) type)
  And I'm doing
   str = CStr(num)
  It outputs 12.320

  And when I have
   num = 12.1
   str = CStr(num)
  It outputs str = 12.100

  What I really want Is to output the number as is(in the first example as
  12.32 and at the sec as 12.1).I really don't want to set the decimal
  places(which I think Format can do) just the plain number(another vauge
  concept...) itself..

  Thanks!
