Basic Measurement Conversion Programs

I'm fairly new with VB, and using it in my CP Programming classes, and I've run into some trouble that my book doesn't have the answer for: Conversions! It says nothing about it, and I have to do a mini-project on it, but I lost all background knowledge on how to do these.

I have to make a basic conversion into a label for feet-to-inches, centimeters-to-inches, and miles-to-meters. Any help on how to do this would be great!

Just multiply variables by their conversion factor:

Code:

'Inches to centimeters
Label1.Text = CDbl(Text1.Text) * 2.54
'
'etc. etc.
