How to convert a string stored in a variable into an integer

Hi,



I want to convert a string stored in a variable into an integer.

For eg I want to perform follwing operation:

            X = object.Text            'X = 5000 

            Y = X + 1



here X need to be converted to integer. i have tried following options but isn't working for me:

   

     aqConvert.StrToInt(X)

    

    aqConvert.VarToInt(X)

    

    VarToInteger(X)

    

    X1 = BuiltIn.VarToStr(X)

    X2 = Utilities.StrToInt(X1)



Can anyone give em a solution for this...



Thanks Priya
