Sub FromBinaryString(BinStr As String) As Int
    Return Bit.ParseInt(BinStr, 2)
End Sub

Sub FromBinaryString(BinStr As String) As Int
    If BinStr.ToLowerCase.StartsWith("0b") Then
        Return Bit.ParseInt(BinStr.SubString(2), 2)
    Else
        Return Bit.ParseInt(BinStr, 2)
    End If
End Sub
