Depends on whether you want to retain the VB "feel" or go hardcore Framework
all the way.
been trying to knock out all the old vb stuff out of my head so sounds like
the parse one is good to go with :)

Brian,
I would use CInt, unless I specifically needed to use Integer.Parse. As
Herfried stated its largely personal preference.
For details on CInt vs. Integer.Parse and details on other myths about
avoiding VB in your VB.NET see: http://www.panopticoncentral.net/arc...5/31/1100.aspx http://www.panopticoncentral.net/arc...6/07/1200.aspx
Hope this helps
Jay

'CInt' is not "old vb". It's current VB syntax that /should/ be used
/instead/ of the framework functions whenever possible. That's why we
have these commands.

I agree that Integer.Parse is the wrong thing to use - but CType(xx,
Integer) is functionally identical to CInt - and if you happen to not have
Microsoft.Visua lBasic referenced... it's fine :D

Both, 'CInt' and 'CType' are VB /keywords/ that should work without
referencing this library.

any reason specific reason why you suggest i should use CInt instead of the
framework versions? I'm trying to maintain as much compatability in tearms
of code with C# incase they ever want this code directly coverted over to
it..

Hi Brian,
One of the things in the language itself where VB is much better than all
the other languages in dotNet are the *convert* functions.
You have the change to use that benefit, not using them is for me the same
as getting a million and not accepting it because it is not given to
everybody.
Just my thougth,
Cor

1) Should I use Integer.Parse to convert a string into an integer in .NET
now?
CType(sUserID, Integer) OR Integer.Parse(sUserID)
2) And is it better to use the string class to trim, get length, etc in .NET?
s1.trim OR trim(s1)
s1.length OR len(s1)
Thank you!

I'm familiar with CInt(value) but I'm not with Int32.Parse(value). They seem
to do the same thing. Is there a big difference between the two and when
would one be best applied over the other?
Thanks,

Basically, I want to convert hex values in the range
"00000000" to "FFFFFFFF" to a signed, 32-bit Integer
value.
In VB6, I could just write lngValue = Val(hexstring$).
In VB.Net, I seem to be forced to do something like

Hello folks,
I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed.
This is as boiled down as I can make it.
