I'm very much a vb person, but have had to use this id number class in c#. I got it from http://www.codingsanity.com/idnumber.htm :

Here is the code from my default.aspx.cs page:
using System;
using
System.Collections.Generic;
using
System.Linq;
using
System.Web;
using
System.Web.UI;
using
System.Web.UI.WebControls;
using Utilities.Southafrica; <- this is the one i added to
public partial class _Default :
System.Web.UI.Page
{
protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
var someNumber = new IdentityNumber("123456"); <- gives error
}
}
Can someone please tell the syntax for how I pass an id number to the class?
Thanks
