Hi iam trying to convert a hexadecimal string like : 0x18da06f1 to its corresponding integer value:

I tried this but not working out:

C#

string requestId = "0x18da06f1";
           RequestIdentifier = int.Parse(requestId , System.Globalization.NumberStyles.HexNumber);

I referred this http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/zf50za27.aspx[^]

This also mentions that it wont work. Even NumberStyles.AllowHexSpecifier doesnt seem to work.

I want to know is there any inbuilt method that supports such conversion directly? Altough i can trim it and make it work. But i want to know if there is any api that works directly.
