c# equivalent of Val() function of VB

[jonathanlimcy]

Anyone know the equivalent of Val() function of VB in C#. I tried searching and cannot seems to find it. Please do give me a example or a function. Thanks.

It depends on the data type you are trying to get but try things like int.Parse()

What does the val() function do?
I don't know VB very well, but tell me what val() does and maybe i can help you.

Ths simple answer is to use the Microsoft.VisualBasic namespace.

JurkMonkey's is the more correct answer.

C

But the online conversion tools show different

    Sub GetValue()
        MessageBox.Show(Val(12332.0))
    End Sub

public void GetValue() 
{ 
    MessageBox.Show(Conversion.Val(12332.0)); 
}

Who is correct?

In classic VB, Val() returns the integer value of a string or floating point data type. In essence the function looks at a value and returns all integers up to the first non-integer value and it ignores leading spaces. Examples of returned values are listed below:
1234 = Val("1234")
1234 = Val(" 1234")
1234 = Val("1234.5")
1234 = Val("1234asdf")
1234 = Val(1234.567)

One other quirk of this function was that non-numeric values always translated to zero rather than throwing an exception. Examples below:
0 = Val("")
0 = Val("asdf")


That being said, there is no core .Net conversion library that will provide you with the same functionality. You will need to reference and use the .Net Visual Basic Library to perform this exact function. This is not considered good form though and I would consider changing your coding constructs to create well formed C# and not a C#/VB Classic hybrid.
