Best (safest) way to convert from double to int

Question

I\'m curious as to the best way to convert a double to an int. Runtime safety is my primary concern here (it doesn\'t necessarily have to be the fastest method, but that wou

I realize this is not quite what the OP was asking for, but this info could be handy.

Here is a comparison (from http://www.dotnetspider.com/resources/1812-Difference-among-Int-Parse-Convert-ToInt.aspx)

        string s1 = "1234";
        string s2 = "1234.65";
        string s3 = null;
        string s4 = "12345678901234567890123456789012345678901234567890";

        int result;
        bool success;

        result = Int32.Parse(s1);      // 1234
        result = Int32.Parse(s2);      // FormatException
        result = Int32.Parse(s3);      // ArgumentNullException
        result = Int32.Parse(s4);      // OverflowException

        result = Convert.ToInt32(s1);      // 1234
        result = Convert.ToInt32(s2);      // FormatException
        result = Convert.ToInt32(s3);      // 0
        result = Convert.ToInt32(s4);      // OverflowException

        success = Int32.TryParse(s1, out result);      // 1234
        success = Int32.TryParse(s2, out result);      // 0
        success = Int32.TryParse(s3, out result);      // 0
        success = Int32.TryParse(s4, out result);      // 0
