Type conversion in VBScript
We can check the variable type by using TypeName. To change from one type to other we can use different functions.Expression to Integer by Cint
Dim v1
v1=5.43
Response.Write "Type of " & TypeName(v1)
Response.Write "<br>"
Response.Write CInt(v1) ' Output will be 5Response.Write CDbl(v1) ' Output will be 5.43CDate
CDate() converts an expression to a Date value. String-to-date conversion depends on the server locale, so avoid ambiguous numeric date strings when possible.
Dim eventDate
eventDate = CDate("September 22, 2026")
Response.Write eventDateWhen you already have numeric year, month, and day components, DateSerial() is usually clearer.
