Convert Object to Int in C#: Methods & Safety
In C#, you can convert an object to an int using type casting or conversion functions.
- Utilize type conversion:
object obj = 10;
int num = (int)obj;
- Utilize type conversion functions:
object obj = 10;
int num = Convert.ToInt32(obj);
It is important to note that if the object cannot be converted to an integer type, the above method will throw an exception. Therefore, before converting, it is best to use type checking to ensure that the object can indeed be converted to an integer type. You can use the ‘is’ keyword for type checking or use the TryParse method for safe conversion.
