Format Double to String

[olgage]

Hello!
I've just began to write VB.NET.

I have a double number (like 24.8745).
I must convert it to a String in format
<integer part>.<fraction>.

When I work in English OS - everything is OK.
The problem is when my program run in German OS.
Then the casting toString() returns format
<integer part>,<fraction>.

I need to convert my double to String with POINT in the middle (not ","). It's important.

Can you help me?
Thank you.

I can't offer any specific advise but try a search for - vb.net culture - you should find something that will point you in the right direction. http://www.codeproject.com/ would be good place to search.
