Hi sriram,
The reason behind this is handling exceptions that is either null or unformated objects, we can see the difference now.
Int32.parse(string) :
if you are pass the string value as int it will give exact output, but if you give the string value as double or null or over the range then it will throw exceptions.
Convert.ToInt32(string):
If you are pass the string value as int or null it will give the result without exception where as if you provide the string value as double or overflow the range then it will throw exception.
Int32.TryParse(string, out int):
In this case it parse the result into 32 bit signed integer value, if it is success then it will return true or else it will return false, where as in other above 2 cases it throws exception.

In Try.parse can we only convert string to another data type or any other datataype conversion is also possible.

Hi Sriram,
We can convert string to other datatypes, we can't convert other datatypes,
syntax :
If that is in convertion of Int, if you want to convert other formats like double or some other in the above syntax instead of int32 you can use that particular format.

when we use TryParse we do not know the input datatype, TryParse return the bool value and check if the datatype is fitted
The .NET Framework design guidelines recommend using the Try methods. Avoiding exceptions is usually a good idea.
'Convert' will directly convert the object to specified datatype, rather than checking its datatype.
so 'Convert' is always faster than 'tryParse
Convert.ToDouble will throw an exception on non-numbers
Double.Parse will throw an exception on non-numbers or null
Double.TryParse will return false or 0 on any of the above without generating an exception.'

Hi,
Int32.TryParse(string szInput, Out varIntOutput)
This converts string to integer variable passed as out parameter and returns true if parsed successfully. If input string is null or non interger value, then the out variable has 0 value and it returns false. I think this is better than other.
Int32.Parse(string szInput)
It converts string to integer. But if input string is null or non interger value then it throws exception.
Convert.ToInt32() converts the string to integer but throws exception when the string is not an integer and internally it invokes Int32.TryParse() so it is bit slow than other methods.
Int32.TryParse(string szInput, Out varIntOutput)
This converts string to integer variable passed as out parameter and returns true if parsed successfully. If input string is null or non interger value, then the out variable has 0 value and it returns false. I think this is better than other.
