Classic ASP Conversion Functions
Conversion functions allow you to change the subtype of a variable. VBScript assigns the variant type to all variables as a default, but there are many cases when you might have to convert a variable to a particular type to satisfy an arguement. A common example would be that you might have a string arguement that returns a numeric value or a numeric arguement that returns a string value. Here are some of the most commonly used conversion functions:
CByte:
The CByte function converts this variable to a subtype byte.
CByte(strExample)
CDbl:
The CDbl function converts this variable to a subtype double.
CDbl(strExample)
CInt:
The CInt function converts this variable to a subtype integer.
CInt(strExample)
CLng:
The CLng function converts this variable to a subtype long.
CLng(strExample)
CStr:
The CStr function converts this variable to a subtype string.
CStr(strExample)
