ReadLine to int

Hello all,

I'm in the process of trying to learn C# as with the continued Mono improvements it seems like a good language to learn (having dabbled in ANSI C, C++, PHP etc for a while now).

Anyway. I figured the best way to learn would be to try and write something useful. Part of that is readign & writing to a file. Writing is the easy part, However the value stored in the text file is an int, how can I read feed this into my application as an int as opposed to a string?

As a point of reference, the relevant section of code is below.

Code:

	public int InstallDuration
	{
		get
		{
			TextReader ProdInfo		=	new StreamReader("ProdInfo.dat");
			return ProdInfo.ReadLine();
			ProdInfo.Close();
		}
		set
		{
			TextWriter ProdInfo		=	new StreamWriter("ProdInfo.dat");
			ProdInfo.WriteLine(value);	
			ProdInfo.Close();
		}
	}

Any suggestions/links would be greatly appreciated

No matter. Got off my lazy ass and did some research

take a look in the System.ConverTo class
