Hi, I need to do something similiar to: I need to convert any random number, to text. How would I do this?
private function getDateFormat() as string Dim theDate as string = "01-06-2005 13:45:30" Dim theDateFormat as string = "dd-mm-yyyy hh:mm:ss" 'need function here to convert to text, or something else? return "1st June 2005, Quarter-To-Two" End sub -

Private Function ConvertToString(byval obj as Object)as string return obj.ToString() End Functionand there is another way too use Convert.ToString method but I have some doubt you wanted that when I look at your code! -

You can use the DateTime.ParseExact method to parse your string into a DateTime value. When you have the DateTime value, you can format it any way you like. There is no built-in format like "Quarter-To-Two", so you have to implement that yourself.

There is no in built function in .net to return a given number as words. You would have to build a module and pass values to it, but this module would be very big and you would have to enter each word corresponding to a number manuelly.
