Question on --- Format$(xxx, "0.00")

Dim filesize As Double = fi.Length / 1024

If filesize > 1024 Then
filesize = filesize / 1024
filesize = Format$(filesize, "0.00")
Label2.Text = filesize.ToString & " MB"
end if


I am problem using the Format$ function....
when i code filesize = Format$(filesize, "0.00")
then my program I have a error on the Form Class......saying missing
exception method...

but when I take code the filesize = format$(filesize, "0.00")...then no
problem....

I need to format all number to 2 decimal one, are they other work around to
format the number ?

weird thing was that...i had no problem to compile that yesterday....jsut
today morning, i do not know how com that format did not work......
I have search on the web, i found that format$ is supported in
vb.net....perhaps, someone could guide me...

thank you very much

Why not use the correct .Net method: String.Format?

There are plenty of samples on the web.
