Hi

How can I convert a string to long value? Most objects have a toString
method but strings don't have a toLong method.

Thanks

Regards

dim l as long
l = long.parse("123456")
 
Or I guest to be more .nettie CType(object, Long)

Hi,

Dim myStr As String = "1001"

Dim myLng As Long

Try

myLng = CType(myStr, Long)

Catch ex As Exception

MessageBox.Show(ex.ToString)

End Try

Hi John,

|| .. strings don't have a toLong method

True, fortunately Longs (in fact all the numeric types) have
a 'from-string' method except that it's called Parse. You'll
find that it's very unforgiving, unlike the old VB Val function.

You can still use Val.

For the full whack - look up topic: Parsing Numeric Strings

Stop spamming Herfried.

You're a bore.

You're a hypocrite.

You're a condescending <deleted>.

You're a PLS.

Well, you got a lot of answers, but nobody posted:

Dim l As Long = System.Convert.ToInt64("1234")
 
Is it just me or does anyone else think that Fergus and Herfried are
in fact the same person. I believe one of them posts a response and
then immediately replies to himself using a different guise and a
caustic reply. It has to be this because the alternative is that we
have two informed people publically showing how childish each can be.

Both of you, grow up!

System.Convert.ToInt64 calls System.Int64.Parse (= Long.Parse)
