textBox question

[Justin Naidl]

I'm using C# and building a basic windows application, but I can't for the
life of me figure out how to get an integer/long value from a text box. I
have written a function which converts a string to an int/long but I feel
like there should be an easier way of doing this. Either via a built in
string to int conversion or just using the textBoxes.

Thanks for any help.

int.Parse(textBox.Text) ??

And handle errors accordingly...

And, remember that Textboxes, by their very nature, only hold string data.
Taking that data out and treating like anything but a string would
necessitate a cast.
