How do I Prevent a Crash When a Letter is Typed Instead of an Integer

[TheKian]

So here's the problem, I have a variable called Denary which is an integer as I need to do maths with it. If someone using my program were to type in a
letter instead of a number it would crash. I would prefer to be able to post an error message but it crashes at the console.ReadLine so my knowledge leaves me unable to solve it.

Console.WriteLine("Type a denary number between 0 and 255 to convert or press * to return to the main menu")
        Denary = Console.ReadLine 'Reads in the Denary Number

        If Denary > 0 And Denary < 255 Then
            Do While Denary > 0
                Binary(i) = Denary Mod 2
                Denary = Fix(Denary / 2) 'Divides Denary number by 2 and rounds dpwn
                i = i + 1
            Loop

Use tryparse:

If Integer.TryParse(Console.ReadLine, Denary) Then
   'Do stuff if it's an integer
Else
   'Do stuff if it's not an integer
End If

By the way, you wouldn't have to use Fix in there. You can just do this:

Denary = Denary \ 2

Note the difference between / and \. The latter is an integer division, while the former....is what you used and had to Fix.
