How can I convert String to Int?

Question

I have a TextBoxD1.Text and I want to convert it to an int to store it in a database.

How can I do this?

Answer 1

You need to parse the string, and you also need to ensure that it is truly in the format of an integer.

The easiest way is this:

int parsedInt = 0;
if (int.TryParse(TextBoxD1.Text, out parsedInt))
{
   // Code for if the string was valid
}
else
{
   // Code for if the string was invalid
}
