Integer Issue aspx

Hi

I'm new to ASP, but basically I'm posting a form from a PHP page to an ASP page (don't ask)

Anyway, I had it working posting the variable as a string but I need to post it as an integer, and all it returns is 0

    Protected Sub Page_Load(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Me.Load
 
        'This section outputs 0
        Dim userID As String = Request.Form("userID")
        Dim pubIssueID As String = Request.Form("pubIssueID")
        Response.Write("PubIssueID ")
        Response.Write(pubIssueID)
        Response.Write("<br />")
        Response.Write("userID ")
        Response.Write(userID)
        Response.Write("<br />")
 
        'This section does not output
        If userID <> 0 Then
            If pubIssueID <> 0 Then
                Response.Write(userID)
                Response.Write("<br />")
                Response.Write(pubIssueID)
            End If
        Else
            'This section outputs
            Response.Write("Error, user or publication not found")
        End If
    End Sub

Code (markup):

I've commented with a ' where and where not it outputs

 

You're making them strings... and as strings you can't perform numeric operations on them. Change where it says "As String" to "As Integer"

 

Sorry, forgot to say thanks. Sometimes its the most obvious solution!

Thank you.
