DataType Conversion in MVC Razor

The following table lists some common conversion and test methods for variables.

Method	Description	Example
AsInt(), IsInt()	Converts a string that represents a whole number (like "593") to an integer.	var myIntNumber = 0; var myStringNum = "539"; if(myStringNum.IsInt()==true){ myIntNumber = myStringNum.AsInt(); }
AsBool(), IsBool()	Converts a string like "true" or "false" to a Boolean type.	var myStringBool = "True"; var myVar = myStringBool.AsBool();
AsFloat(), IsFloat()	Converts a string that has a decimal value like "1.3" or "7.439" to a floating-point number.	var myStringFloat = "41.432895"; var myFloatNum = myStringFloat.AsFloat();
AsDecimal(), IsDecimal()	Converts a string that has a decimal value like "1.3" or "7.439" to a decimal number. (In ASP.NET, a decimal number is more precise than a floating-point number.)	var myStringDec = "10317.425"; var myDecNum = myStringDec.AsDecimal();
AsDateTime(), IsDateTime()	Converts a string that represents a date and time value to the ASP.NET DateTime type.	var myDateString = "12/27/2012"; var newDate = myDateString.AsDateTime();
ToString()	Converts any other data type to a string.	int num1 = 17; int num2 = 76; // myString is set to 1776 string myString = num1.ToString() + num2.ToString();
