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) ;
