C# testing to see if a string is an integer?

Question

I\'m just curious as to whether there is something built into either the C# language or the .NET Framework that tests to see if something is an integer

if (x         


        

Answer 1

Use the int.TryParse method.

string x = "42";
int value;
if(int.TryParse(x, out value))
  // Do something

If it successfully parses it will return true, and the out result will have its value as an integer.
