) As String

public static string ToString(
    double value
)

Examples

The following code sample illustrates the conversion of a Double to a String, using ToString.

Public Sub ConvertDoubleString(ByVal doubleVal As Double)

   Dim stringVal As String

   ' A conversion from Double to String cannot overflow.       
   stringVal = System.Convert.ToString(doubleVal)
   outputBlock.Text &= String.Format("{0} as a String is: {1}", _
                             doubleVal, stringVal) & vbCrLf

   Try
      doubleVal = System.Convert.ToDouble(stringVal)
      outputBlock.Text &= String.Format("{0} as a Double is: {1}", _
                                stringVal, doubleVal) & vbCrLf
   Catch exception As System.OverflowException
      outputBlock.Text &= String.Format( _
          "Overflow in String-to-Double conversion.") & vbCrLf
   Catch exception As System.FormatException
      outputBlock.Text &= String.Format( _
          "The string is not formatted as a Double.") & vbCrLf
   Catch exception As System.ArgumentException
      outputBlock.Text &= "The string is null." & vbCrLf
   End Try

End Sub

public void ConvertDoubleString(double doubleVal)
{
   string stringVal;

   // A conversion from Double to string cannot overflow.       
   stringVal = System.Convert.ToString(doubleVal);
   outputBlock.Text += String.Format("{0} as a string is: {1}",
      doubleVal, stringVal) + "\n";

   try
   {
      doubleVal = System.Convert.ToDouble(stringVal);
      outputBlock.Text += String.Format("{0} as a double is: {1}",
         stringVal, doubleVal) + "\n";
   }
   catch (System.OverflowException)
   {
      outputBlock.Text += String.Format(
         "Conversion from string-to-double overflowed.") + "\n";
   }
   catch (System.FormatException)
   {
      outputBlock.Text += String.Format(
         "The string was not formatted as a double.") + "\n";
   }
   catch (System.ArgumentException)
   {
      outputBlock.Text += String.Format(
         "The string pointed to null.") + "\n";
   }
}
