If you’re collecting input from a user, you’d generally use Int32.TryParse(), since it allows you more fine-grained control over the situation when the user enters invalid input. Convert.ToInt32() takes an object as its argument. (See Chris S’s answer for how it works) Convert.ToInt32() also does not throw ArgumentNullException when its argument is null the way Int32.Parse() does. That…
