How can I convert String to Int?

Question

I have a TextBoxD1.Text and I want to convert it to an int to store it in a database.

How can I do this?

Answer 1

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.
