This is correct implementation:

int tryCounter = 0; // I hope this will work
x:
if(!long.TryParse("0", out _remainder) && (tryCounter < 100)) {
tryCounter++;
goto x;
}
else if(!long.TryParse("0", out _remainder) && (tryCounter > 100)){
_remainder = 0;
}
else{
// Oh my God, what should I do now?
}

What do you think about this?

private long _remainder = long.parse(((long)0).ToString());

I would suggest the following:

private long _remainder = (long)int.parse((0).ToString());

Never underestimate the idiocy of the programmer who came before you. Otherwise, you'll always be surprised by how stupid they can be.

I will not underestimate it again!! ^^

OK, I fess up. I have been surprised by the stupid programmer before me when that programmer was me. :)

Haha.. I should be wary of that one too indeed!! ^^
