[thelist] why doesn't this work? (ASP 2.0)

[Ken Schaefer]

Why don't you use CLng() and explicitly cast the variant rather than doing
an implicit conversion?

<%
lngVersion = Request.QueryString("version")
lngCounter = 12

If isNumeric(lngVersion) then
    lngVersion = CLng(lngVersion)
Else
    lngVersion = 0
End If

If lngCounter = lngVersion then
    ' ...
End If
%>

Cheers
Ken

: Very useful:
: if request.querystring("Version")*1 = counter then
:
: ...the *1 converts to numeric.
