Strange with integer!

HI,

I have this userID that is used in a login form. It is returning and &H + integer. Strange as it was working fine . I dont have the slightest idea why.

Code:

---

Public userID as integer

                bCheck = True 'indicates access permitted
                userID = CInt(Trim(cmd.Parameters("@userID").Value))  ' (userID = &H3
                MessageBox.Show(userID.ToString) ' ( userID = 3)

---

--------------------------------------------

Then if I try

Code:

---

bCheck = True 'indicates access permitted
      (SuserID=3) SuserID = CStr(cmd.Parameters("@userID").Value)
 (userID=&H3)  userID = CInt(SuserID)
                MessageBox.Show(SuserID)

---

Anyone knows what's the problem pls?

There is no problem. That's merely a hexadecimal representation of a number. The number itself doesn't contain the '&H' part. That's just a format to tell you that you're reading hexadecimal and not decimal.

1 = &H1
2 = &H2
3 = &H3
4 = &H4
5 = &H5
6 = &H6
7 = &H7
8 = &H8
9 = &H9
10 = &HA
11 = &HB
12 = &HC
13 = &HD
14 = &HE
15 = &HF
16 = &H10
17 = &H11
18 = &H12
etc.
