Converts a string to an Int32 , returning 0 if the conversion fails.

This function uses Integer.TryParse to safely convert the input without throwing exceptions. It is useful when a default value of 0 is acceptable for invalid input.

    Public Function ConvertToInteger(ByVal input As String) As Integer

        Dim output As Integer = 0
        Integer.TryParse(input, output)
        Return output

    End Function

    Public Function ConvertToInteger(ByVal input As String) As Integer

        Dim output As Integer = 0
        Integer.TryParse(input, output)
        Return output

    End Function
