Null check on Convert.ToInt32

Agree with xbrady. I'm posting an practical example how you can use it in case you are unsure:

int newValue = (orgValue== null) ? 0 : Convert.ToInt32(orgValue);

Personal preference:

int orgValueAsInt;
if (!Int.TryParse((orgValue as string), out orgValueAsInt)
{
//Parse Failed.  Assign orgValueAsInt a default value?
orgValueAsInt = -1;
}

ppittle's TryParse is the ideal option, it's what it is made for :)

Or use the null coalescing operator:

Convert.ToInt32(orgValue ?? 0);

So pretty ;)

or "0" or whichever, you get the point :)

On second thoughts

doesn't Convert handle nulls by itself? That's why it is recommended to use Convert instead of int.Parse?

It does say that, yes, MSDN would seem to support that too, interesting - What is the Type of orgValue in Convert.ToInt32(orgValue);?

Article does show that the new try parse is much faster if there are conversions that will fail.
