Operator is not Valid

Integer conversion can be done with cint(variable) or
system.convert.ToInt32(variable) or bitconverter.ToInt32(variable).
An integer (if you are using 'dim i as integer') is the equivalent of
a 32-bit signed integer.

Website quality assurance testingThank you for your help, but now I'm getting this message:

"System.InvalidCastException: Cast from type 'UInt16' to type 'Integer' is
not valid."

I tried using cint(entry("LoadPercentage")). None of the other conversion
methods you listed seem to work. I'm using VB, not C. I don't know if that
makes a difference.

I apologize. I've gotten lazy by using Perl too much. I haven't had to
declare types in a few years and I'm a bit rusty. I'm totally new to the
way .NET does it.

I appreciate your help.

Integers in .Net are of the type Int32.

Dim shtOriginal As Int16 = 4
Dim intConverted As Integer
intConverted = System.Convert.ToInt32(shtOriginal)

This is VB.NET source for the conversion. It worked fine for me. Let
me know if you are still having problems.
