Visual Basic .NET Language Type conversion Converting Text of The Textbox to an Integer
Example
From MSDN
Use the CInt function to provide conversions from any other data type to an Integer subtype. For example, CInt forces integer arithmetic when currency, single-precision, or double-precision arithmetic would normally occur.
Assuming that you have 1 button and 2 textbox. If you type on textbox1.text 5.5 and on textbox2.text 10.
If you have this code:
Dim result = textbox1.text + textbox2.text
MsgBox("Result: " & result)
'It will output
5.510
In order to add the values of the 2 textboxes you need to convert their values to Int by using the CInt(expression).
Dim result = CInt(textbox1.text) + CInt(textbox2.text)
MsgBox("Result: " & result)
'It will output
16
Note: When the fractional part of a value is exactly 0.5, the CInt function rounds to the closest even number. For example, 0.5 rounds to 0, while 1.5 rounds to 2, and 3.5 rounds to 4. The purpose of rounding to the closest even number is to compensate for a bias that could accumulate when many numbers are added together.
