I need to get the size attribute into and int so I can use it in a function.

int strSize = nlIdentifier.Item(i).Attributes["size"].Value;

The above code gives me a string I have tried to cast it without success. I am in need of a bit of help
thanks

Try this:

int strSize = XmlConvert.ToInt32(nlIdentifier.Item(i).Attributes["size"].Value);

The XmlConvert class is made for this situation.
