How can I convert String to Int?
Try this:
int x = Int32.Parse(TextBoxD1.Text);
or better yet:
int x = 0;
Int32.TryParse(TextBoxD1.Text, out x);
Also, since Int32.TryParse
returns a bool
you can use its return value to make decisions about the results of the parsing attempt:
int x = 0;
if (Int32.TryParse(TextBoxD1.Text, out x))
{
// you know that the parsing attempt
// was successful
}
If you are curious, the difference between Parse
and TryParse
is best summed up like this:
The TryParse method is like the Parse method, except the TryParse method does not throw an exception if the conversion fails. It eliminates the need to use exception handling to test for a FormatException in the event that s is invalid and cannot be successfully parsed. - MSDN
int.TryParse()
It won't throw if the text is not numeric.
Convert.ToInt32( TextBoxD1.Text );
Use this if you feel confident that the contents of the text box is a valid int
. A safer option is
int val = 0;
Int32.TryParse( TextBoxD1.Text, out val );
This will provide you with some default value you can use. Int32.TryParse
also returns a Boolean value indicating whether it was able to parse or not, so you can even use it as the condition of an if
statement.
if( Int32.TryParse( TextBoxD1.Text, out val ){
DoSomething(..);
} else {
HandleBadInput(..);
}
int myInt = int.Parse(TextBoxD1.Text)
Another way would be:
bool isConvertible = false;
int myInt = 0;
isConvertible = int.TryParse(TextBoxD1.Text, out myInt);
The difference between the two is that the first one would throw an exception if the value in your textbox can't be converted, whereas the second one would just return false.
