What is the difference between Convert and Parse?

Question

I could write the following to convert an object to an integer.

Convert.ToInt32(myObject);

But I could also write

Int.Parse         


        

Answer 1

This how Convert.ToInt32 method source looks like

public static int ToInt32(object value) {
    return value == null? 0: ((IConvertible)value).ToInt32(null); 
}

As long as your object implement IConvertible interface you should call this method.
