Extracting numerical value from text box

[Ian Eagland]

Hi

I am just starting on Visual C (2003) from a VB background. I find it easier
to learn by actually programming. I have fallen over at the first hurdle.
How do you extract a numerical value from a text box? I have a number of
reference books but it is not mentioned because I guess it is simple and I
am just missing it.

Regards

Hi,
get the string value out of the textbox, and then use the Convert class to
convert the string value to a numerical value.
for example, you could use Convert.ToInt32(string_value);
