Fewer puppies would have been killed. Don't use Convert.
If I don't expect the conversion to fail I want an exception. When failure is expected I use TryParse. There is a reason both exists.

Yes, in this case Parse is more appropriate. (I just updated my earlier response with an example.)

And we have a winner. Amazing that the decimal point is making the conversion more than 3000 times slower. But since it didn't throw an exception but rather make a correct conversion I actually doubt that TryParse would have made a difference.

What version of .NET? I've just tried
Convert.ToInt32("42.")in LINQPad for 3.5 and 4.5, and both versions throw aFormatException.

Your length is off by one. The decimal point is included. I prefer int.TryParse over Convert.
That slows it down? I spotted that right away, about 15 mins after he posted, but figured it'd be irrelevant, so didn't post. So a trailing decimal has that much of an effect... Good to know.
Proud to have finally moved to the A-Ark. Which one are you in?

3000 times slower? I noticed the extra character about 15 mins after you started this thread, but didn't think it relevant. I'll have to keep an eye out for that... Almost as bad as the exponent operator in VB.NET... (Try benchmarking 2^2 vs Math.Pow(2,2))

Weird. If I try
Convert.ToInt32("42.")in .NET 4.5, I get:FormatException: Input string was not in a correct format.Are you sure you're not doing something else in your code that's hiding the error?

Jörgen Andersson (is this you "Neo"?!?) sounds scandinavian and they probably have a different decimal separator... Robert

Good point. However,
Convert.ToInt32("42,")still produces aFormatException. Trying "42." with the "sv-SE" culture, which uses "," as the decimal separator and "." as the group separator, also produces aFormatException.

So I was building an application that presents a list of files matched with info in a database. Everything was working fine and dandy but horrendously slow. I quickly found the culprit to be in this function:
Func GetIDPart_Of_FileName = FileName => Convert.ToInt32(FileName.Substring(FileName.IndexOf('_') + 1, FileName.IndexOf('.') - FileName.IndexOf('_')));
The files are built in the form of ID_AnotherID.Extension and what I wanted was AnotherID Can anyone see what I did wrong? :) Do note that it was giving correct results. fixed typo

hmm FileName.IndexOf('_') is calculated twice too

Well, a little late to the party, but this is why I have a whole bunch of string extensions, like this "Between" and "ToInt32":
FileName.Between('_', '.').ToInt32()And then you would never have included the '.' by accident. ;) MarcImperative to Functional Programming Succinctly Higher Order Programming

Send me a direct email and I'll send you the .cs file of my extensions. There's this[^] too. Marc
