Solution 1

Convert your itemcode to a string (if it is not already a string) and format it likewise e.g. using string function .Insert ?

So, if your item code always contains 10 characters, you can use:

Dim item As String = "0101010001"
item = item.Insert(2, "-")
item = item.Insert(5, "-")
item = item.Insert(8, "-")

and you're done.
