Int.Parse vs. Convert.To

[tigershark]

Hey,

Could someone please explain what is the differance between:

int x = intParse(txtNum1.txt);
int x = Convert.ToInt32(txtNum1.txt);


Thanks,
Dan.

Int32.Parse - http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/libr...8VS.71%29.aspx
Convert.ToInt32 - http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/libr...8VS.71%29.aspx

The Convert class is capable of converting more types of data representations to an integer than Parse, which deals only with strings.

There's no difference, Conver.ToInt32() internaly uses Int32.Parse(). Covert is just facade over various types. Int32(16,64) and so on provides, in addition to Convert's methods, TryParse family of safe method which not throw an exception.

Yes, the difference is over what class is being called, the outcome offers no difference
