What's wrong with just reading standard MSDN documentation?

It'll waste my time to search for it in MSDN.

Aha, you think that wasting the time of community is better. How nice!

No, you still waste your time. You know why? Because, with such attitude, the whole idea to learn programming is a total waste of time; you won't be able to do any programming, guaranteed. Just forget about programming, before you wasted even more time.

You are right. But what I had posted I did not mean it. So sorry if you did not like my comment. I'll be careful next time!
And I can't forget about programming. I love programming and I spend time on it.

Please, no need to apologize. This is about your life, not mine. You need to be careful not with comments, it's okay, but with appropriate effort when you need to reach something.
Sorry if I misunderstood you.

Thank you for understanding.

You do not "convert", you parse the string. Use one of the string methods Parse or TryParse. Read about them:
