In the following code , in textbox16, if I enter 1234567890 (10 digit - mobile number) it fails. If I enter 123456789 (9digits) it works! Can anyone help me out.

C#

protected void TextBox16_TextChanged(object sender, EventArgs e)   // mobile number changing
    {
        int value;
        if (Int32.TryParse(TextBox16.Text, out value) == false)
        {
            // TryParse call fails to convert the value to an integer,
        }
        else
        {
            v_mobile = TextBox16.Text;
        }
    }

Thanks.

This only fails for me if I enter a value of 2147483648 - which exceeds the limit for an Int32. 2147483647 and 1234567890 both work fine.

The reason is:

Try Int64 instead:

Try using a long variable instead and Int64.TryParse

please let us know the reason of it.

Apart from that, I really don't understand why you want to convert a phone number to a number???? It makes no sense. How do you handle + for international numbers and () for area codes? And if the number starts with a zero, it will of course be removed by the parsing...

hi,

the range of Int32 is -2,147,483,648 to 2,147,483,647 so use Int64 or decimal datatype.

So what, he entered within the range 1234567890

Solution 5

Hi,

use int64, you crossed max value of int 4 byte,
Max value for int 32 is
2,147,483,647

Please, read this: Int32.MaxValue[^].

Quote:
The value of this constant is 2,147,483,647; that is, hexadecimal 0x7FFFFFFF.

I would suggest to use string, because of different formatting. For example, if you want to make call to Poland, you need to provide a telephone number, like: +48 000000000 - for mobile-phone.

Quote:
Most telephone networks today (exceptions being private intercom and secure phone networks) are interconnected in the international telephone network, where the format of telephone numbers is standardized by ITU-T in the recommendation E.164. This specifies that the entire number should be 15 digits or shorter, and begin with a country prefix. For most countries, this is followed by an area code or city code and the subscriber number, which might consist of the code for a particular telephone exchange. ITU-T recommendation E.123 describes how to represent an international telephone number in writing or print, starting with a plus sign ("+") and the country code. When calling an international number from a fixed line phone, the + must be replaced with the international call prefix chosen by the country the call is being made from. Some mobile phones allow the + to be entered directly.
