Hello Keith,

>What are you using to look at the dwelling value?

I am not clear of your question.
I get the value fromt the textcontrol ( Dwelling )and assign it to a string variable as follow:

string dwellingText  = Dwelling.Text.ToString().Trim();

>Int32 can be represented as decimal, octal, hexidecimal, binary ...

I thought the following statement would convert a string value to int

int dwelling = Convert.ToInt32(dwellingText) ;
