Now where is the val() function

I could just use

VB Code:

intNumber = val("1")

but I am sure microsoft have put it in a class somewhere.

Can anyone tell me where?

Try a search.

aha!!

Davidrobin, you'll probably find it in the same place (or near to) where asc() and chr() are now kept. Legacy functions from VB6.

So if it is a legacy function what is the .NET alternative.
