VB.Net: String or Double to Currency Format

Hi Experts,

I need to convert a double or a string into currency. What is the best method to convert the values that are in a string or in a double  to currency format(Euro with two decimal places).

Also the values should looks like this for example:   €18.025.785,12  

I am very sure that the users using this applications are only use to the above currency format, the decimal points separated with a comma ',' rather than a regular period '.', and the excess digits are separated with a period rather than a comma.

I need this because when I read the currency values from the database I want to make sure that it is represented on the above format on the ListView, DataGridView and Forms.

Also when I send the currency that looks like €108,10 to an Access Database using an SQL statement from a VB.Net application, do I have to convert that to a string or just extract it as a double and set it to the SQL statement?

Thanks in advance.
