Hello,

I'm looking to teach myself managed C++. I'm trying to make a simple
application. How do I import the number from a text box into a variable
of data type long.

in vb i would do something like

dim var as long
var = textbox.text

and it would work. Now when i do in C++
long Number = 0;
Number = txtNum->Text;

I get errors stating that it can't convert from string to int. any
suggestions on how to do this?
 
You need to perform a conversion from the string (in the textbox) to the
numeric type.

Something like:

long Number = Convert::ToInt32( txtNum->Text );
