How do I convert from a string to an integer in Visual Basic?

Question

How do I convert from a string to an integer? Here's what I tried:

Price = CInt(Int(txtPrice.Text)) 

I took out the Int and I still got an exception.

Answer 1

Use

Convert.toInt32(txtPrice.Text) 

This is assuming VB.NET.

Judging by the name "txtPrice", you really don't want an Integer but a Decimal. So instead use:

Convert.toDecimal(txtPrice.Text) 

If this is the case, be sure whatever you assign this to is Decimal not an Integer.

Answer 2

You can try it:

Dim Price As Integer  Int32.TryParse(txtPrice.Text, Price)
