You can do number2Str = number.ToString()

or

number2Str = Convert.ToString(number)

There are several ways to do this but these are two fairly common ones.

hi elliot i have the same feeling about strings and integers but forgot the details wasnt it the string class or was it the integer class that did the magic trick ? for sur it wasnt the applet class , i dont know where to look either but if i remembered coorectly it was at the sun side or maybe at the oracle site because in the newspaper was something vague about sun and oracle well i will have a joint now maybe my memory will come back soon bye for now. hmm wasnt it an enum ? public enum YesNo { y, n }

Couldn't you just do this:

Dim number as integer = 1000

Dim number2str as string

number2str = number

Print number.ToString()

will print the string "1000".

string s = number.ToString()

will make s "1000".

don't forget cstr(number)
