vb.net, full number presentation with small double number

Question

if I have a small double in vb.net like this:

dim x as double = 0.00000003

a conversion to a string would produce a E-presentation (3E-7). in debugging the value it will be shown as full number (0.00000003).

how can I get the full number in a string?

Answer 1

With the .ToString() method and a format string:

Dim y As String = x.ToString("F7")

Standard Format Strings
Custom Format Strings

Note that this still requires you to choose a specific format. If you want it to automatically match the string literal you used in your code, then you have a problem because that information is not preserved.
