Usage at a Glance

  • This is a shared member of the System.Math class, so it can be used without an instance.

  • To convert degrees to radians, multiply degrees by p/180.

  • To convert radians to degrees, multiply radians by 180/p.

Version Differences

In VB 6, Cos is an intrinsic VB function. In the .NET platform, it is a member of the System.Math class and not directly part of the VB language.
