Question

im working on a project that is calculating the total population for given countries and its in the hundreds of thousands. And i need to output the population with the ,’s in the appropriate places.
Ex. population 123456789
i need to output it in a listbox as
123,456,789

so im looking for a converter function or something built in that takes my value
Dim population as int

and adds it appropriately

    Lbxdata.Items.Add("----------------------------")

    Lbxdata.Items.Add(("Total Countries Selected " & countrycount))

    Lbxdata.Items.Add(("Total Population Selected " & (totalPopulation))

    Lbxdata.Items.Add("----------------------------")

is what i have atm.

Answer 1

Use String.Format to format the lines:

Lbxdata.Items.Add(String.Format("Total Countries Selected {0:N0}", countrycount))

Lbxdata.Items.Add(String.Format("Total Population Selected {0:N0}", totalPopulation))
