Form entry AsInt()

Question

User-1753299103 posted

I have a form that is being picked up as follows:

int mynumber=Request["number"].AsInt();

However, If a number entered as 035 it's converted to 35 removing the preceeding "0". I need the entire number!

 

Thanks

035 is not an integer

keep it as a string

var mynumber=Request["number"];

If you want to store the value as "035", you'll need to store it as a String instead of an integer.

Integers will ignore any leading zeroes when they are read and used by default, so this is completely normal behavior. Have you consider storing it as a String and when you need to actually grab the value, using the AsInt() method?
