outputing integers

[bentley]

Private Sub cmdConvert_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles cmdConvert.Click

Dim intInput As Integer

intInput = txtInput.Text()

txtOutput.Text = intInput



End Sub

Private Sub Button3_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button3.Click
Me.Close()
End Sub
End Class

The problem is that the only way this works is if i declare intInput as a string how can i get this to work as an integer?

Whatever you get from at textbox is usually a "text", that is a string.

So you can check and validate whatever someone puts in that box to be a numerical value of your choice, preferably with the help of the "Errorprovider"-component.

Then in code you use Cint(txtbox.text), or Csng(txtbox.text) or whatever you feel is necessary, if you need to perform any numerical functions etc...

Another option would be to use the following:

intInput = val(txtInput.text)
