Casting values at run-time...

[aultmike]

Consider this example:

Dim x As Int32
Dim newValue As String

x = CType(newValue, x.GetType())

I keep getting the design-time error, Type 'x.GetType' is not defined.

Is there a way I can do this? I would like to be able to cast values at run-time depending on the type of values I'm working with.

Thanks!

The line
x = CType(newValue, x.GetType())

should be
x = CType(newValue, Int32). Look at the online help for an explanation of CType.
