Answer 1:

You can use either

int myInt =Integer.Parse(myString)

or

Dim myIntAs IntegerIf Integer.TryParse(myString,out myIntThen Return IntegerElse Return 0End If

Answer 2,

Dim cAs System.Drawing.Color = System.Drawing.ColorTranslator.FromHtml("#F5F7F8")Dim strHtmlColorAs String = System.Drawing.ColorTranslator.ToHtml(c)

1) Have a look at the Cint, Convert.ToInt16, Integer.Parse or Integer.TryParse methods

2) System.Drawing.Color.FromName("#FFFFFF")
