How do you format strings? i.e.
In VB6: Format("AB34567", "@@@@@-@@") = "AB345-67"
In .Net: ????????
In VB6: Format("AB34567", "@@@@@-@@") = "AB345-67"
In .Net: ????????

Try this:
String.Format("{0:###0.00}", myValue)
String.Format("{0:###0.00}", myValue)

I don't have an idea too, but it seems that the behavior of 'Format' has
changed. Formatting for strings seems to be gone according to the
documentation. Really annoying.

From the MSDN online:
"Examples of characters that can't be displayed as literal characters are the date-formatting and time-formatting characters (a, c,
d, h, m, n, p, q, s, t, w, y, /, and
, the numeric-formatting characters (#, 0, %, E, e, comma, and period), and the
string-formatting characters (@, &, <, >, and !)."
Seems they changed the behavior and failed to completely clean-up the documentation.
