Int32.TryParse() or (int?)command.ExecuteScalar()

Question

I have a SQL query which returns only one field - an ID of type INT.

And I have to use it as integer in C# code.

Which way is faster and uses less memory?

Answer 1

if ((Int32)cmd.ExecuteScalar () ** 1) //en esta parece qu esta el error pero no lo veo
{
    Response.Redirect("Default.aspx");
}
else
{
    Response.Redirect("error.htm") ;
}
