How to do ToInt32(string) on Micro Framework?

Question

Sorry for the noob question... C# is new to me.

(And reaching for basic stuff in the framework and finding it missing is a little disorienting.)

The question:

On the 4.1 .NET Micro Framework, how do I implement ToInt32(string), since the native .net micro framework lacks these conversion functions?

Thank you !

The .NET Micro Framework (at least, version 3.0 and above) has an Int32.Parse method which will do what you want: convert a string representation of a number into the actual integer equivalent.

The documentation for that method is here.

Call it like this:

String myString = "100";
Int32 myNumber = Int32.Parse(myString);

But it looks like the .NET Micro Framework (again, version 3.0 and above) also provides the Convert class, including various overloads of methods such as ToInt32 and ToDouble, so I'm not really sure what the problem is and why you say that it "lacks these conversion functions". Which ones are missing?
