Get integer from Textbox

Question

I am very new to C# and this question might sound very stupid. I wonder how I'm going get the integer(user's input) from the textBox1 and use it in if else statement?

Please give some examples

Solution 1

You need to parse the value of textbox.Text which is a string to int value. You may use int.TryParse, or int.Parse or Convert.ToInt32.

TextBox.Text property is of string type. You may look at the following sample code.

int.TryParse

This will return true if the parsing is successful and false if it fails.

int value;

if(int.TryParse(textBox1.Text,out value))
{
//parsing successful 
} 
else
{
//parsing failed. 
}

Convert.ToInt32

This may throw an exception if the parsing is unsuccessful.

int value = Convert.ToInt32(textBox1.Text);

int.Parse

int value = int.Parse(textBox1.Text);

Later you can use value in your if statement like.

if(value > 0)
{
}
else
{
}

Solution 2

Try with this:

int i = int.Parse(textbox1.Text);
