Hi Fas,
Wellcome to the forum :)
Well, if you want to display it as a currency you suppose to Format given result. Notice that Val is parsing text converting it in value with double precision datatype. Anyway, you can format the string as it follows:
VB.NET: 
Dim result as Double = Val(TextBox2.Text) * Val(TextBox3.Text)
LbResult.Text = String.Format("{0:n2}", result)

HTH

Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click
Dim result As Double = Val(TextBox2.Text) * Val(TextBox3.Text)
LbResult.Text = String.Format("{0:n2}", result)
End Sub

Private Sub Button2_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button2.Click
Dim result As Double = Val(TextBox2.Text) * Val(TextBox3.Text)
LbResult.Text = String.Format("{0:n2}", result)
Dim result As Double = Val(LbResult.Text) - Val(LbTax.Text) - Val(LbIns.Text)
LbResult2.Text = String.Format("{0:n2}", result)
End Sub
End Class

just declare another var for the 2nd result or simply use the existing 'result' variable i.e.
VB.NET: 
Private Sub Button2_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button2.Click
Dim result As Double = Val(TextBox2.Text) * Val(TextBox3.Text)
LbResult.Text = String.Format("{0:n2}", result)
Dim [B]result2[/B] As Double = Val(LbResult.Text) - Val(LbTax.Text) - Val(LbIns.Text)
LbResult2.Text = String.Format("{0:n2}", [B]result2[/B])
End Sub

or

VB.NET: 
Private Sub Button2_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button2.Click
Dim result As Double = Val(TextBox2.Text) * Val(TextBox3.Text)
LbResult.Text = String.Format("{0:n2}", result)
[B]result[/B] = Val(LbResult.Text) - Val(LbTax.Text) - Val(LbIns.Text)
LbResult2.Text = String.Format("{0:n2}", [B]result[/B])
End Sub

You cannot declare two variable with a same name inside one procedure

HTH
Regards ;)

p.s. please use [ code ][ /code ] tags when you are including code in your post
