Number names

Task
Number names
You are encouraged to solve this task according to the task description, using any language you may know.

Show how to spell out a number in English. You can use a preexisting implementation or roll your own, but you should support inputs up to at least one million (or the maximum value of your language's default bounded integer type, if that's less). Support for inputs other than positive integers (like zero, negative integers, and floating-point numbers) is optional.

Visual Basic .NET

Platform: .NET

Works with: Visual Basic .NET version 9.0+

This solution works for integers up to 1000. It should be fairly ovbious how it works, and so can be extended if needed.
