Visual Studio 2005 on Japanese

Does anyone know how I can express inputted japanese character-numbers, (１２３４５６７８９０) as normal integer values (1234567890)

if im writing an application for a japanese user and they enter on the form in a textbox "７", in the japanese font, how can i convert this as intger 7?

if i get the textbox.text value, it doesnt convert to an intger, even the char datatype doesnt like it.

Theres no need to be an elitist bastard if I ask a question you may have a solution for. I was hoping there would be a away to do what i wanted without resorting to unicode char conversion every time the the keyboard was pressed. I hope your happy you made me cry. fuck you.
