Question

I need to convert a string to an integer in windows Phone 7. I tried following code but my app crashed:

int val1 = Convert.ToInt16(str);

Is there another way to do this?

Answer 1

Why does it crash? Do you get an errormessage? What is the actual value of ‘str’? Maybe the problem lies there. Also I would opt for ToInt32() as this returns an int, while ToInt16() returns a short. This will not give a problem but it looks more logic. And last, these methods will do the job:

int val1 = Convert.ToInt32("123");

int val2 = int.Parse("123");

int val3 = 0;
int.TryParse("123", out val3);
