C# equivalent to Java's scn.nextInt( )

Question

In Java, if we want to read an user input from the console, we can do the following.

Scanner scn = new Scanner (System.in);
int x;

x = scn.nextInt();  //Receive

This may be a year late, but...

    static int GetInt() {
        int integer = 0;
        int n = Console.Read();
        while (n == ' ' || n == '\n' || n == '\r' || n == '\t' || n == -1)
            n = Console.Read();
        while (n >= '0' && n <= '9') {
            integer = integer * 10 + n - '0';
            n = Console.Read();
        }
        return integer;
    }

This is more or less the same as Java's nextInt() method. It doesn't support negative values as it currently is, but it can be easily implemented by checking if the first read value is '-' and if it is, multiply the final value by -1.
