Hi,
1 pound = 16 ounces

so based on this relation you can do everything you need.

oz = p * 16
p = oz / 16

ex: convert 5 pounds to ounces.
oz = 5 * 16
oz = 80     this means that 5 pounds equal 80 ounces.

Adding to AlexCode's correct formula, divide the result by 100 when you are working with hundredths of a pound, obviously.

If you are looking for the actual code, here is a link to get you going : http://www.dreamincode.net/forums/index.php?showtopic=121316

20 = 3.2 oz
(20/100) = 0.2
0.2*16 = 3.2 oz

if i read this right then it would be
            Try         ' read PackageDimensions.Weight
                Result_Box.AppendText("PackageDimensions.Weight: " & item.ItemAttributes.PackageDimensions.Weight.Value & vbCrLf)
                '20 = 3.2 oz | (20/100) = 0.2 | 0.2*16 = 3.2 oz
                Dim b_Weight As Integer = FormatNumber(CStr(CDbl(((item.ItemAttributes.PackageDimensions.Weight.Value) / 100) * 16)), 2)
                Result_Box.AppendText("PackageDimensions.Weight - OZ: " & b_Weight.ToString & vbCrLf)
            Catch ex As Exception
                textboxauth.Text = "Error reading PackageDimensions.Weight: " & ex.ToString()
            End Try

but its not doing 3.2 its returning 3
any ideas on how to fix please?

Its being rounded to int instead of decimal.

Change this

Dim b_Weight As Integer

to

Dim b_Weight As Decimal
