Hello,

I'm looking to teach myself managed C++. I'm trying to make a simple
application. How do I import the number from a text box into a variable
of data type long.

in vb i would do something like

  dim var as long
  var = textbox.text

and it would work. Now when i do in C++
  long Number = 0;
  Number = txtNum->Text;

I get errors stating that it can't convert from string to int. any
suggestions on how to do this?
