<div>
ok. &nbsp;thanks. &nbsp;I thought maybe I was doing something wrong, &nbsp;I'm using a thirds party product that generates the WEB pages, so I suppose they are using this format on the URL parms.

Or you can parse the XML using system.xml - you can also easily access the rest of the string:<br />

<pre><code id="code-20-40409084-1">Imports System.XML
Public Sub test()
        Dim strData As String = &quot;&lt;key&gt;&lt;cv&gt;&lt;c&gt;ID&lt;/c&gt;&lt;v&gt;245&lt;/v&gt;&lt;/cv&gt;&lt;/key&gt;&quot;
        Dim xmlDoc As New XmlDocument
        xmlDoc.LoadXml(strData)
        Dim xmlNode As XmlNodeList = xmlDoc.GetElementsByTagName(&quot;v&quot;)
        MessageBox.Show(xmlNode(0).InnerXml)
End Sub</code></pre>
</div>

<div class="content wysiwyg-content">
I need to parse this:<br />
<br />
&quot;&lt;key&gt;&lt;cv&gt;&lt;c&gt;ID&lt;/c&gt;&lt;v&gt;245&lt;<wbr />/v&gt;&lt;/cv&gt;&lt;/<wbr />key&gt;&quot;<br />
<br />
I used QueryString(&quot;parm_name&quot;) to obtain this value. &nbsp;I need the 245. &nbsp;Now , I could just use Split or some other general parse mechanism, but is that a specific URL parse mechanism to do this?

Visual Basic .NET (VB.NET) is an object-oriented programming language implemented on the .NET framework, but also supported on other platforms such as Mono and Silverlight. Microsoft launched VB.NET as the successor to the Visual Basic language. Though it is similar in syntax to  Visual Basic pre-2002, it is not the same technology,

Microsoft Visual C++ (often abbreviated as MSVC or VC++) is an integrated development environment (IDE) product from Microsoft for the C, C++, and C++/CLI programming languages. It features tools for developing and debugging C++ code, especially code written for the Microsoft Windows API, the DirectX API, and the Microsoft .NET Framework. Many applications require redistributable Visual C++ packages to function correctly and are often installed independently of applications, allowing multiple applications to make use of the package while only having to install it once
