You're being screwed up by the comma. If all of your values have commas in them, you'll want to run a string.replace() to remove them. Once that comma is gone, it should work fine.

A more thorough way would be to Parse it, allowing for thousands.

Try the following

var number = Int32.Parse("12,000", System.Globalization.NumberStyles.AllowThousands);

Try this

string num = "12,000"; int k = Convert.ToInt32(num.Replace(",",""));

This code is spectacularly culture-insensitive, and will fail when the application is run in a locale (and provided with a string) that uses `.` as the thousands' separator. – cdhowie Dec 08 '10 at 20:50
