How to convert string to integer in C#

Question

How do I convert a string to an integer in C#?

Answer 1

If you are sure that you have "real" number in your string, or you are comfortable of any exception that might arise, use this.

string s="4";
int a=int.Parse(s);

For some more control over the process, use

string s="maybe 4";
int a;
if (int.TryParse(s, out a)) {
    // it's int;
}
else {
    // it's no int, and there's no exception;
}
