tryparse c# code example

Example 1: c sharp tryparse

// Any Parse() function has a TryParse function, which returns
// 'true' on a success and 'false' on a failure. On a succes
// it also saves the conerted value in the second parameter.
string value = "160"
int number;
bool success = Int32.TryParse(value, out number);
// success = true
// number = 160

Example 2: c# try

// ------------ How to use Try, Catch and Finally? --------------- //
// This is often used whenever you want to prevent your program from 
// crashing due to an incorrect input given by the user 


// --->  TRY 
// Where you put the part of your code that can cause problems

// --->  CATCH
// The parameter of this will indicate which "exception" was the 
// root of the problem. If you don't know the cause, then you can 
// make this general, with just: catch (Exception).

// --->  FINALLY
// This block of code will always run, regardless of whether 
// "try" or "catch" were trigger or not
