    Int32 is an Integer data type.

    VB Code:
    1. Dim hWnd as Integer = Me.Handle.ToInt32
    The arrow shot by the archer may, or may not, kill a single person. However, stratagems devised by a wise man, can kill even babes in the womb.

    Or just leave it an IntPtr. That way it won't overflow as soon as you run the app on a 64 bit OS. It depends what you want to do with it though.

    VB Code:
    1. Dim hWnd as IntPtr = Me.Handle
