which method i can use for converting a string to a number?

x10000 thanks

Hi Alice,

We can use an implicit type conversion that may fail at runtime. This means
that some string values do not have an obvious analogue as a number or
Boolean.



Using explicit type conversions, which allow for lossy conversions, makes
code more reliable and much less likely to fail at runtime.



Hope this helps.

Alice,

I had problems with the conversions, too. Here is a code snippet of my
solution: ( I am reading power data from an instrument)

double m_dTemp, m_dCh1LastPower; //

// This bypasses conversion error that shows up,
// Error is on return value of "" (Empty sting)
if ( Double.TryParse(strReading,
System.Globalization.NumberStyles.Float,
null, out m_dTemp) )
{ // True on successful conversion, so use it

m_dCh1LastPower = m_dTemp;
// To modify and return to string
m_dCh1LastPower = m_dCh1LastPower * 1000;
String sFormatter = "#0.00";
string txtNew = m_dCh1LastPower.ToString(sFormatter)
}
