Hi,

please find >>>here<<< the syntax for String.Format.

The value has to be a double value, then you can use:

TestStr = Format(YourDoubleValue, "###0.000")

HTH, - alfred -

To add to the reply from @Alfred.NESWADBA, if your elevations are not doubles, you could use >>convert<< if you are sure they are valid, or >>tryparse<< 

something like

Text1.Textstring = convert.todouble(elev).tostring("0.000")

thank you very much Alfred.NESWADBA

TestStr = Format(YourDoubleValue, "###0.000")

your answer is perfectly matched to my requirement.
