System.OverflowException (Please Help!)

When I Run my app, I get a pop up box saying this 'Arithmetic operation resulted in an overflow'. Here is the code;

Try
FSUIPCConnection.Process()
' OK so display the string
' With strings the DLL automatically handles the
' ASCII/Unicode conversion and deals with the
' zero terminators.
FuelTankLCapacity.Value.ToString("F1")
Dim LeftTotalFuel As Integer = (FuelTankLCapacity.Value * 8388608) / LeftTank.Value
Me.Label8.Text = LeftTotalFuel
Catch ex As Exception
MessageBox.Show(ex.Message, AppTitle, MessageBoxButtons.OK, MessageBoxIcon.Error)
End Try

Can i get a bit of help of how to fix this issue? Thanks

You are posting in the wrong forum, for one.

You can't do arithmetic on STRING data. You'd need to convert the type to something that the cpu can add.

check these two lines

Code:

FuelTankLCapacity.Value.ToString("F1")
            Dim LeftTotalFuel As Integer = (FuelTankLCapacity.Value * 8388608) / LeftTank.Value

first you are getting a string value, next use double instead of integer.
