Quick Question about Type Conversions

[techmanbd]

I was wondering what is the preferred or better method in .NET for type conversions?

 

this way ?

dim intNumber as integer

 

textbox1.text = intNumber.toString

 

 

OR?

 

textbox1.text = Cstr(intNumber)

I would personally go for the first option as it's not VB specific but common to all .Net languages, gives more control over the output and can be used with formating of the output without having to use a seperate function (Format rather than CStr).
