String.Format
zone formatting
String.Format("{0, 10}{1, 3}{0,5}", "hi", 6)
TextBox1.Text = String.Format("{0, -10}{1, 3:N3}{0,5}", "hi", 0.6)

all these format function take in parameters of various types, but they ALL generate Strings

Public Class Form1

    Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click
        TextBox1.Text = String.Format("{0, -10}{1, 3:N3}{0,5}", "hi", 0.6)
    End Sub

    Private Sub Button2_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button2.Click
        Dim sr As IO.StreamReader
        sr = IO.File.OpenText("C:\vbfiles\josh.txt")
        Dim sentence As String
        sentence = sr.ReadLine()
        Dim myNumber As Double
        myNumber = CDbl(sr.ReadLine())
        TextBox1.Text = myNumber & ";" & sentence
        sr.Close()
    End Sub
End Class

how it will work with Loops
        Do While sr.Peek() <> -1

        Loop


Private Sub Button3_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button3.Click
        Dim t As String
        t = InputBox("Please enter a name", "Give a name", "Josh")
        TextBox1.Text = t
    End Sub
