How do I spell out a number in VB.NET/ASP.NET 1.1?

This isn't VB.net but it should work with minimal changes.

The routine below, GetSpelledNumber, converts a real number into a spelled out number (English only). See the comments in the routine for instructions on how to use.

Examples:

GetSpelledNumber(1234) = One Thousand Two Hundred Thirty Four
GetSpelledNumber(1234.56) = One Thousand Two Hundred Thirty Four Point Five Six
GetSpelledNumber(1234.56, TRUE) = One Thousand Two Hundred Thirty Four Dollars and Fifty Six Cents

i think you just need to convert number to string , if so this simple example to do this

 Dim arra(,) As String = {{"0", "zero"}, {"1", "one"}, {"2", "two"}, {"3", "three"}}
        Dim sentence As String = "112213"
        Dim sentenceToView As String = ""
        For i As Integer = 0 To sentence.Length - 1
            sentenceToView = sentenceToView & arra(Convert.ToUInt32(sentence(i).ToString()), 1) & ","
        Next

Select all Open in new window
