I'm using vb.net 2008 edition and i was wondering if there a way to convert an array type to another array type. For instance say i dim an array as string and then want to convert the array to the integer data type for sorting, how would i go about this?

A:
You can call Array.ConvertAll:
intArray = Array.ConvertAll(stringArray, Function(s) Int32.Parse(s))

If you want to. What did you want to do with the array of integers?

well actually i started out with a string array and want to convert it to a integer array. and even though i put that exact line of code in my program it did nothing and stayed a string array. heres what i tried Array.ConvertAll(cardNumber, Function(s) Int32.Parse(s))where cardNumber is just a 5 spot string array.

You need to declare a new variable of type `Int32()` and assign the return value to it.
