How do I convert a int to a string?

[COHENMARVIN]

I tried the following:
int myInt;
MessageBox.Show(myInt);
But this does not work, because a string is expected. How do I
convert myInt to a string? I tried myInt.toString and that is not
accepted, and neither is (string) myInt.

Another thing I tried was:
String MyString;
MyString = "Hello"
MessageBox.Show(MyString[3]);
And this also does not work, because a char cannot be converted to a
string.

But there must be a way to display these.
Thanks,
Marvin

Every object has ToString(). For an integer, that does the intended job:

MessageBox.Show(myInt.ToString());

An even better way is to use the String.Format method like so:

MessageBox.Show(string.Format("{0:#,#.00}"));

Reason being you can control things like thousand separators and so forth.
