Answer 1

You can't store a 15 digit integer since the maximum value for an integer is 2,147,483,647.

What's wrong with a long-Value?

You could use TryParse() to get the long-Value from yout user input:

String Am = AmountTextBox.Text.ToString();
long l;
Int64.TryParse(Am, out l);

It will return false if the text can't be converted to long, so it's pretty safe to use.

Otherwise, converting a long to int is a easy as

int i = (int)yourLongValue;

if you're happy with discarding MSBs and taking LSBs.
