Converting string to long

[Monty]

Re: Converting string to long

Is it just me or does anyone else think that Fergus and Herfried are
in fact the same person. I believe one of them posts a response and
then immediately replies to himself using a different guise and a
caustic reply. It has to be this because the alternative is that we
have two informed people publically showing how childish each can be.

Both of you, grow up!

System.Convert. ToInt64 calls System.Int64.Pa rse (= Long.Parse)

I am not Fergus.

Remember:

I was dragged down some weeks ago.

In VB "Long" tends to be a VB6 left-over which is an int32 :P
