Format String in VB.NET

You can use the Format method to create formatted strings and concatenate multiple strings representing multiple objects. The Format method automatically converts any passed object into a string.

For example, the following code uses integer, floating number and string values and format them into a string using the Format method.

            Dim str As String = [String].Format("Days Left : {0}. Current DataTime: {1:u}. " & vbLf & " String: {2}, Float: {3}", val, DateTime.Now, name, num)
            Console.WriteLine(str)
