Convert textbox text to integer

Question

I need to convert the text in the textbox of my xaml code to an integer value in C#. I am using .NET 4.0 and Visual Studio 2010. Is there a way to do it in xaml tags itself

Answer 1

If your SQL database allows Null values for that field try using int? value like that :

if (this.txtboxname.Text == "" || this.txtboxname.text == null)
     value = null;
else
     value = Convert.ToInt32(this.txtboxname.Text);

Take care that Convert.ToInt32 of a null value returns 0 !

Convert.ToInt32(null) returns 0
