title: Convert to integer and get sum of two numbers
body: <p>I would like to get the sum of two numbers that are in string format such as below, but it does not work. any ideas? costDay2.Text and costDay3.Text are number values in a textbox</p>
  
  <pre><code>Dim Days23 As Decimal
  
  Days23 = (Convert.ToDecimal(costDay2.Text) + Convert.ToDecimal(costDay3.Text))
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>The result I get is 0.00, but the value of costDay2.Text = 150.00 and costDay3 = 200.00, so the result should be 350.00</p>
