Parse vs. Convert

[John Salerno]

Is there any difference (performance-wise or otherwise) between the
Parse method and the methods of the Convert class when dealing with a
string?

Int32.Parse(string);

or

Convert.ToInt32(string);


Thanks.

Hi John,
this was discussed not too long ago on this group:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/newsgroup...harp&mid=2da002d0-8474-4cc0-b07e-b0827462aaa4

Basically Convert.ToInt32 calls Int32.Parse internally, so technically
Int32.parse should be faster, but probably nothing noticable.

Hope that helps
