convert double to currency

Hi all,
I was wondering if there was a way to convert a double value to currency.
sometimes the double number is: 7 or 7.7 or 7.77 or 7.776543
I needed to always get a decimal and 2 digits after the decimal for every
answer.
thanks

You will need to pass a string format to the two string method of the double
object.

IE.

Dim d as Double

d = 7
Console.WriteLine( d.ToString( "##0.00" ) )
d = 7.7
Console.WriteLine( d.ToString( "##0.00" ) )
d = 7.776543
Console.WriteLine( d.ToString( "##0.00" ) )
