I inherited some code from a former employee, who was unable to cut the
umbilical cord from VB6. His code is littered with calls to VB6 functions
like Space(), String(), Left(), Mid(), Right(), Len(), Val(), etc.
I know the .Net equivalents of everything except Val().
Int32.Parse allows you to filter out characters like "$" and "," and
whitespace, but it still can't emulate the Val() function completely.
Alright, who here in this group knows the answer?
Thanks,
Mike

I hope you don't try to replace these handy functions!

There is no 1:1 replacement available.

Why not use 'Val'? It's a VB.NET function.

Hi Herfried,
Why not use 'Val'? It's a VB.NET function.
That is true but I think not a good answer

You are wayyy too cool to like those functions..please tell me it's just
some of that Austrian sarcasm ;-)
just use
microsoft.VisualBasic.Val()
the microsoft.visualbasic class has all the old VB functions and they work
exactly the same..

Hi Bill,
I think it has nothing to do with sarcasme.
There seems a strange thinking with some people who think that by limiting
themself by only using the System part they are programming for the Net.
