vb.net convert getpoint value to string?

[bart_van_tuyl]

I've got the feeling this post has landed in the wrong discussion group?

my question is however related to vb.net for AutoCAD 2013.

question:

i would like to use the getpoint method and display the coordinates of the point clicked in a textbox.

there's heaps of examples on the getpoint method. All work fine except when i want to use the result as a text string for use with a textbox.

dose anybody know how to "convert" the getpoint value.

also a lot of examples are in C# but i use simple vb.net code

I don't use full Autocad, but in general in vb to convert a number to text you use the function str$

eg

str$ (number variable) would return " number variable ". NOTE the spaces before and after the number.

If you want to get rid of the spaces it would be Trim$(str$(number variable). I can't remember whether you need the $ in the functions or not.
