string Convert to int value?

Question

I want to convert the string value to int value, so I tried these things:

// 1.
string a = "4163";
int b = int.Parse(a);

// 2.
int intValue;
int.TryParse(a, out intValue);

// 3.
int b = Convert.ToInt32(a);

but always my output looks like this:

Wrong output value in debugger

It always writes 0x00001043, but I need 4163 as output. What is the wrong with my code?

Show the code you used to output `b`; possibly you are using `{0:X}` ? — mshsayem, May 28 '13 at 06:29
All of those work. How do you print your output? Btw, 0x00001043 is 4163 in hexadecimal. — Rik, May 28 '13 at 06:29
Code looks good, has to do with your output I suppose. Please provide more code. — randomizer, May 28 '13 at 06:29
Side note: "output" is usually console output of a program (or some other form, like text file). What you show in the question is usually called with explicitly calling "debugger XXX" - "debugger view", "watch list"... — Alexei Levenkov, May 28 '13 at 06:36

You code should work as expected. May be you need to change the display settings. So do something like this

Right click the Watch Window and deselect the Hexadecimal Display of values.

If you're sure it'll parse correctly, use

int.Parse(string)

If you're not, use

int i;
bool success = int.TryParse(string, out i);

Caution! In this case, i will equal 0, not 10 after the TryParse.

int i = 10;
bool failure = int.TryParse("asdf", out i);

This is because TryParse uses an out parameter, not a ref parameter.

you can also use

 int i = Convert.ToInt16("1234");

and I think the way you are converting is also correct but you are having problem while u are displaying on the console.

try to display that converted integer in html or somewhere else

Hey Your all converting way's is give correct answer . You don't see a answer in a quick watch. You can check for final value on the b .

for sample

// 1.
string a = "4163";
int b = Convert.ToInt32(a);

the b is return correct answer , you want to check for add below line

int c =b;//now it's show result for  4163
