newbie casting question

[Anti-Rich]

hi all,

i have what will seem a very basic question to most of you... in vb.net a simple conversion of a number input into a text box is as follows...

Dim result as Integer

result = cint(txtResult.Text)

i tried to do the same thing in C#...

int result=0;

result = (int)txtResult.Text;

and it spits out the error "Cannot convert from type string to int" i understand why this occurs, i just dont know how to fix it, or how to go about casting the string result to an integer... can someone please clarfify this question for me?

*sigh* the 'pleasures' of learning a new language :P

cheers

result = convert.toint32(txtresult.text)

I usually use int.TryParse:

            string s = "1234";
            int int32 = 0;
            if (!int.TryParse(s, out int32))
            {
                // Throw MessageBox or likewise here...
            }
