Convert.ToInt32 Method (Object)
Converts the value of the specified object to a 32-bit signed integer.
Namespace: System
Assembly: mscorlib (in mscorlib.dll)
Parameters
- value
- Type: System.Object
An object that implements the IConvertible interface, or null.
Return Value
Type: System.Int32A 32-bit signed integer equivalent to value, or zero if value is null.
| Exception | Condition |
|---|---|
| FormatException | value is not in an appropriate format. |
| InvalidCastException | value does not implement the IConvertible interface. -or- The conversion is not supported. |
| OverflowException | value represents a number that is less than Int32.MinValue or greater than Int32.MaxValue. |
If value is not null, this method wraps a call to the IConvertible.ToInt32 implementation of the underlying type of value.
The following example attempts to convert each element in an object array to an integer.
object[] values = { true, -12, 163, 935, 'x', new DateTime(2009, 5, 12), "104", "103.0", "-1", "1.00e2", "One", 1.00e2, 16.3e42}; int result; foreach (object value in values) { try { result = Convert.ToInt32(value); Console.WriteLine("Converted the {0} value {1} to the {2} value {3}.", value.GetType().Name, value, result.GetType().Name, result); } catch (OverflowException) { Console.WriteLine("The {0} value {1} is outside the range of the Int32 type.", value.GetType().Name, value); } catch (FormatException) { Console.WriteLine("The {0} value {1} is not in a recognizable format.", value.GetType().Name, value); } catch (InvalidCastException) { Console.WriteLine("No conversion to an Int32 exists for the {0} value {1}.", value.GetType().Name, value); } } // The example displays the following output: // Converted the Boolean value True to the Int32 value 1. // Converted the Int32 value -12 to the Int32 value -12. // Converted the Int32 value 163 to the Int32 value 163. // Converted the Int32 value 935 to the Int32 value 935. // Converted the Char value x to the Int32 value 120. // No conversion to an Int32 exists for the DateTime value 5/12/2009 12:00:00 AM. // Converted the String value 104 to the Int32 value 104. // The String value 103.0 is not in a recognizable format. // Converted the String value -1 to the Int32 value -1. // The String value 1.00e2 is not in a recognizable format. // The String value One is not in a recognizable format. // Converted the Double value 100 to the Int32 value 100. // The Double value 1.63E+43 is outside the range of the Int32 type.
