I'm on this thread late, but here's my two cents.

If you have a string let's say "124" and you want it to be an int object:

C#:
int myInt = Convert.ToInt32("124");

VB:
int myInt = Convert.ToInt32("124")

If your string has alphanumeric you would not be able to use this
method...you'd first have to ensure that the string is indeed an integer.
You could parse out the alphas, but it depends on your goal.

I try to cast it, but vs.net gives me error says "can't convert string to
int", anyone?

Make no mistake - there's a great learning curve 
for developers moving from COM to .NET.  So why 
would you want to be a pioneer and cross the bridges 
first?  Attend the .NET Developer's Conference 
(28th to 30th November 2001) In London and realise 
the benefits of adopting the technology early.  By 
attending you'll understand the key challenges and 
be left with a thorough understanding of the major 
.NET fundamentals.   If you're already working 
with .NET this is a must-attend event.
