Which is better to use when getting the in datareader int value?

The code would be like:

C#

string Acc_ID;

//[0] is the ID whereas the [2] is the Account type(Admin, User, etc.)
Acct_ID = rdr.GetInt32[0] + " " + rdr.GetString[2];
lblID.Text = Acc_ID;

Should I make it just like that or use Cast on them to make it execute faster? Thank you whoever can help! Sorry if it sounds annoying I'm just new to C#.

What I have tried:

Here is what I tried: rdr.GetInt32[0], rdr.GetInt32[0].ToString(), Convert.ToString(rdr.GetInt32[0]), and (int)rdr.GetInt32[0].

You do not need to cast, .GetInt32 returns an 32 bit integer, .String returns a string.

The only cast you need is the one to convert the int to a string if you need it as a string.

Acct_ID = rdr.GetInt32[0].ToString + " " + rdr.GetString[2];
