Conversion from string "&search" to type 'Integer'

Question

Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles txtsearch.Click

Dim SearchData = Search.StoredProcedure4(txtsearch.Text)
DataGridView1.DataSource = SearchData

End Sub

Conversion from string "&search" to type 'Integer' is not valid... How can I convert string into integer?

`&search` -- and how this string becomes an int? – John Woo Jan 30 '14 at 06:24 — John Woo, Jan 30 '14 at 06:24
because i`ll be putting number in search instead of text – jepoy Jan 30 '14 at 06:27 — jepoy, Jan 30 '14 at 06:27

Dim SearchData = Search.StoredProcedure4(txtsearch.Text)
int SearchDataInt = Convert.ToInt32(SearchData ) //or (int)SearchData 
DataGridView1.DataSource = SearchDataInt

Just add this line between your define and display.

Please don't simply post the code. Give some explanation or information or usage about your code. For example, see [this answer](http://stackoverflow.com/a/16893057/756941). – Nazik Jan 30 '14 at 06:49

string s = "&search";
foreach( char c in s)
{
Console.WriteLine(System.Convert.ToInt32(c));
}

Isn't the fault that you have extracted the wrong value? &search look like a parameter name in an URL, not the parameter value.

int.TryParse(stringValue, out intValue) is the way to go for parsing a string as an integer.
