Question

I have a string like this:

var myString = "025"

Is there an easy way to change this to a number?

Answer 1

int myNumber = int.Parse(myString);

Note that this will throw an exception if myString cannot be converted to an int. You can use TryParse instead that is safer

int myNumber
if( int.TryParse(myString, out myNumber){
  //conversion ok, and myNumber now contains the int
}else{
  //conversion failed. myNumber will now be 0.
}
