[RESOLVED] Type Casting in VB

I got a textbox which will accept a SIZE from the user.

based on this SIZE, i wan to go through a FOR loop SIZE number of times. Do i need to perform type casting to convert the text into integer or can i just use the SIZE as the FOR loop parameter?

Thks

It is always a good idea to be explicit.. which means you would use CLng to convert the string to Long and use it in the For loop.

does that mean if i wan to have it as interger i use

Dim charSize As Integer

charSize = CInt(Text4)

How comes it gives me a type mismatch error when i do the above? thks

Did you try it like this

VB Code:

Dim charSize As Integer
 
charSize = CInt(Text4.Text)

what's in your Textbox?
