title: vb.net How to convert the string "one" to an integer 1
body: <p>I think my question is fairly simple but i just cant seem to get it to work. I have to change my variable from the string &quot;One&quot; to the integer 1 looks like this</p>
  <p><code>BeginningValue = Int32.Parse(numbers(index))</code></p>
  <p>I have also tried</p>
  <p><code>BeginningValue = Convert.ToInt32(numbers(index))</code></p>
  <p>but that doesnt seem to work either. Both of these lines just give me the error &quot;System.FormatException: Input string was not in a correct format.&quot;</p>
