int.TryParse

[ats]

I have a textbox on a web page that I want users to be able to enter a
credit/debit card issue number if there is one. These numbers sometimes use
a leading zero. If I use the int.TryParse function to ensure there are no
alpha characters will it return false if the number is for instance 01 or
02?

TIA

There's a couple of options. You can use Cint or IsNumeric but they both
allow hex notation. IF you are using VB 2008 I would use this:

If Textbox1.Text.All(Function(c) Char.IsDigit(c)) Then

01 and 02 are integers so I don't see why TryParse wouldn't return true.
Also it would be really easy to try this by yourself rather than asking...

I would highly recommend you add one of the ASP.NET validation
controls to the page to do some initial client-side checking. One
strategy would be to use a Regex Validator to parse the input format,
ensuring there are no alphabetic character or that the credit card
number is in a valid format (xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx).

As always, I highly recommend a product called Expresso for creating
Regex expressions, it's free to use and can save you tons of time:

No. "01" or "02" will parse into integers without problems.
