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
