To convert string to int you can use, Parse:

string text = "1234";
int value = int.Parse(text);

Or you could use NumericUpDown control.

i don't find numericupdown in wpf, but the parse works perfectly. – divfe May 15 '11 at 16:21
@divfe - It is not part of standard WPF controls, I provided the URL to the Extended WPF toolkit. – Alex Aza May 15 '11 at 16:25

If you only want numeric input, you might be better off with numbericupdown. Of course, you could just validate the input using tryparse...
