converting string to a decimal number

[aspro]

hey
I am making a calculator program that will take the input from 2 textboxes and then times them together. it works fine if I use system.convert.toint32 but once i enter in a number like 45.25 it has trouble because of the decimal point. does anyone know of a better way to calculate the numbers and how best to validate them?

many thanks,
aspro

That is for integers, whole numbers

Try CDbl like this

val1 = CDbl(myTextbox.text)

Thanks rotsey. That works well.
