Int.TryParse() returns false for?

The above will work with Integer or Decimal strings. Mind you that strings of the form "2.123" will result in the Integer value of 2 being returned.

I'm having a function which receives string parameters and convert them to integers. For safe conversion int.TryParse() is used. Public IEnumerable ReportView(string param1, string param2) { int storeId = int.

TryParse(param1, out storeId)? StoreId : 0; int titleId = int. TryParse(param2, out titleId)?

TitleId : 0; IEnumerable detailView = new Report(). GetData(storeId, titleId); return detailView; } Function call ReportView(“2”,”4”)--> int. Tryparse successfully parsing the numbers Function call ReportView(“2.00”,”4.00”) --> int.

TryParse fails to parse the numbers Why? Any idea? @Update Sorry guys, my concept was wrong.

I'm new to c#, I thought Int.TryParse() would return integral part and ignore the decimals. But it won't, even Convert. ToInt32("string") Thanks to all.

1 You should also specify a culture. – CodeInChaos Apr 4 at 14:27 3 I don't see why this is downvoted. The question is clearly a beginners question, but it is clear, and reasonably well formulated.

I am very glad it does not in work like that in C#... But it is not as self evident to a newcomer as it might seem to you or me.

Public IEnumerable ReportView(string param1, string param2) { decimal tmp; int storeId = decimal. TryParse(param1, out tmp)? (int)tmp : 0; int titleId = decimal.

TryParse(param2, out tmp)? (int)tmp : 0; IEnumerable detailView = new Report(). GetData(storeId, titleId); return detailView; } The above will work with Integer or Decimal strings.

Int. TryParse will not try to parse the string and convert it to an integer just in case. You need to use decimal.

TryParse for a decimal number string.

2.00 and 4.00 aren't integers. If you want to parse decimals, use decimal.TryParse() or double.TryParse(), and then truncate them or check for a zero-value mantissa.

2.00 and 4.00 are not of Integer data types - that's why. If you want those to be true try, double.TryParse() or decimal.TryParse().

Well 2.00 is a decimal number, not an int in a computers eyes.

1 nice expression computers eyes :) – moguzalp Apr 4 at 14:29.

It fails to parse because decimal numbers are not integers.

Because "2.00" is a decimal, not an integer.

An Int32 (int) can only contain integral values; therefore the Int32 Parse/TryParse functions cannot parse strings with decimals. If your string values might contain decimals but are intended to represent integers, use Decimal. TryParse and then cast.

To a computer "2.00" is a float/decimal, not an integer. Instead of doing decimal.TryParse() you can pre-process the string by removing the trailing zeros and then do int.TryParse(). So if you have "2.00", you keep checking (and dropping) the last character of the string until you reach the ".

" (decimal). If it is "0" or ". " you can drop it.

In the end you will end up with just "2".

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
