Its probably a good idea to use try parse for these situations it handles more cases than empty strings for example non numeric characters characters

Dim number As Integer
Dim result As Boolean = Int32.TryParse(inputBox.Text, number)
if Not result Then
    number = 0
End If

If user didn't enter anything in the input box and press cancel, it will be an empty string. Your system won't be able to convert an empty string to integer. Therefore, your program should handle this scenario with code similar to below.

If inputBox.Text = "" Then 
    inputValue = 0
Else
    inputValue = inputBox.Text
