 Microsoft.VisualBasic.Conversion.Val() should stop parsing when it reaches
 the first such character.
 
 Hope this helps :-)

+On the test case
+
+using System;
+using Microsoft.VisualBasic;
+public class X
+{
+   public static void Main(string[] args)
+   {
+	   for (char c = Char.MinValue; c < char.MaxValue; c ++)
+		   if (Conversion.Val (c) != 0)
+			   Console.WriteLine ("{0}  -- {1}", c, Conversion.Val (c));
+   }
+}
+
+msft prints out
+
+1 -- 1
+...
+9 -- 9
+
+and nothing else. it's pretty clear they use something like:
+			if (c >= '0' && c <= '9')
+				return c - '0';
+			return 0;
