But, [datatype].Parse() method is mainly intented as primary use for two reasons. - Convert is a mock up of Parse methods added to the framework from scratch as legacy for vb developers switching to .net, which is translated as overhead depending on how many convertions you want to do. - Parse methods are intended to be used with globalization (which convert lacks of). Now I was going to point you the [datatype].TryParse method which is the Parse direct version of convert, but your post was made on 2003 and that method was added to the framework on the netfx 2.0 :P Good analysis though As you say, Convert.To[struct data type] gets a null handling plus cleaner coding (which is also nice).

Good analysis though
