How do I convert an Integer? to an Integer in VB.NET?

Question

I'm a C# programmer but am converting some code from C# to VB.NET. In c# I can simply use (int)blah.getValue() where getValue() returns an Integer?

Doing a DirectCast() in VB.NET doesn't work though, saying Integer? cannot be converted to Integer.

Ideas?

Use the value property to get the actual integer value.

Dim intNullable As Integer?

If intNullable.HasValue Then
 Return intNullable.Value
End If
