Which is fast comparison: Convert.ToInt32(stringValue)==intValue or stringValue==intValue.ToString()

Question

While developing my application i came across some comparison stuff here was it:

    string str = \"12345\";
    int j = 12345;
    if (str == j.ToString())
             


        

Answer 1

I prefer i.ToString() == str since nothing guarantees that Convert.ToInt32(str) doesn't fail.
