0	When passed a string as a parameter, Convert.ToInt32 calls int.Parse internally. So the only difference is an additional null check. Here's the code from .NET Reflector public static int ToInt32(string value) { if (value == null) { return 0; } return int.Parse(value, CultureInfo.CurrentCulture); } http://stackoverflow.com/questions/8192520/any-difference-between-parse-and-convert If this helps you .

public static int ToInt32(string value)
{
if (value == null)
{
return 0;

return int.Parse(value, CultureInfo.CurrentCulture);
}

0	Hi , Convert class makes it easier to convert between the all the base types. One Difference: string is null thrown error when you call int.Parse() return 0 value when you call Convert.ToInt32() if you want to know the Difference between Int.Parse() and Convert.ToINT32(). please test the following code: int a, b; string s = null; b = Convert.ToInt32(s); MessageBox.Show(b.ToString()); a = int.Parse(s); MessageBox.Show(a.ToString()); Output is same when you use your code.

Hi ,
Convert class makes it easier to convert between the all the base types.
One Difference:
string is null
thrown error when you call int.Parse()
return 0 value when you call Convert.ToInt32()
if you want to know the Difference between Int.Parse() and Convert.ToINT32(). please test the following code:

  int a, b;

            string s = null;

            

             b = Convert.ToInt32(s);

             MessageBox.Show(b.ToString());

             

            a = int.Parse(s);

            MessageBox.Show(a.ToString());

Output is same when you use your code.
