I have a textbox that can have "0xFFFF" in it's Text property. I need to convert it to an int32.

How do I do that? I have tried:

Int32.Parse( MyTextBox.Text, NumberStyles.HexNumber )

and

Int32.Parse( MyTextBox.Text, NumberStyles.AllowHexSpecifier)

and get the following error message:

"Input string was not in a correct format."

Please help!

take off the 0x and just parse the actual hex number.
