Class Microsoft.VisualBasic.Conversion Syntax Dim result As String = Str(number) number (required; Object) Any valid numeric expression or an expression that can be converted to a number
Description The Str function converts number from a number to a string. Usage at a Glance If number cannot be converted to a string, a runtime error occurs. To prevent this, check number with the IsNumeric function first. If the return value is positive, the Str function always includes a leading space in the returned string for the sign of number. Use the LTrim function to remove the leading space that the Str function adds to the start of the returned string. The CStr and Format functions are often a better choice than the Str function. The CStr function does not add a leading space for the sign of a positive number. Both the CStr and the Format functions are internationally aware, recognizing locale-specific decimal delimiters.
