I needed to convert strings to integers, but it seems the built in functions for this are not available in 4.2, at least I could not seem to get them to work. Silly me if I just missed something. Anyway, assuming that they are missing, here is a bit of code that worked for me: public int Str2Int( string input ) { int ret = 0; // built the result here while (input.Length > 0) // stop when all chars have been processed { char c = input[0]; // get the first char if (c < '0') break; // stop if a non-number is found if (c > '9') break; int n = (int)c - 48; // ascii value to a number, IE '1' = 49 ret = n + 10 * ret; // accumulate the result input = input.Substring(1); // remove the first char } return ret; // return the result to caller } If someone else has a better way to go this, I would love to hear about it.

You mean that int.Parse(string) is not working in the 4.2 release?

yes, at least I (in my befuddled state) was not able to get it working. It seemed to be missing as was the rest of System.Convert
