Thanks Scott. I actually need to trim the leading zeroes before they are converted to any type of numeric. This has to do with various events on the form I am working with. When an event is triggered the text box must clear the leading zereos. Only when saved to the database is the string converted to numeric. This is the way the architect and BA have specified that it be done. I cannot go rogue and do a premature conversion. So that is why I must trim the zeroes off the string.

Hi Scott, I met with the team and argued for converting to an integer. All is working well. Thanks for your help.

<div class="content wysiwyg-content">
I have a text box control which accepts numeric numbers as a string. So how can I strip off any leading zeroes before any type of conversion to a numeric?<br />
&nbsp;if someone enters any of the following for example I need to strip off the leading 00s :<br />
&quot;0056&quot;<br />
&quot;06&quot;<br />
<br />
I have tried the following but it is not working:<br />
If txtNumInput.Text.Trim = txtNumInput.Text.Trim.Trim<wbr />Start('0')<wbr /> ' This wont work<br />
<br />
If txtNumInput.Text.Trim = txtNumInput.Text.ToString.<wbr />Trim.TrimS<wbr />tart('0') ' This also won't work

VB.net how to use TrimStart

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,
