Converting string to long

[John]

Hi

How can I convert a string to long value? Most objects have a toString
method but strings don't have a toLong method.

Thanks

Regards

Use the Parse method

int32.Parse ("123)

Hi,

Dim myStr As String = "1001"

Dim myLng As Long

Try

myLng = CType(myStr, Long)

Catch ex As Exception

MessageBox.Show (ex.ToString)

End Try

'Int32' isn't a 'Long'.

Hi John,

|| .. strings don't have a toLong method

True, fortunately Longs (in fact all the numeric types) have
a 'from-string' method except that it's called Parse. You'll
find that it's very unforgiving, unlike the old VB Val function.

You can still use Val.

For the full whack - look up topic: Parsing Numeric Strings

Stop spamming Herfried.

You're a bore.

You're a hypocrite.

You're a condescending <deleted>.

You're a PLS.

Well, you got a lot of answers, but nobody posted:

Dim l As Long = System.Convert. ToInt64("1234")
