I'm disliking Console.Read(LINE)() function right now. I'm in the process of making a Tic Tac Toe clone just so I can remember some of the stuff I have learned using C# and it's just being a bitch about every thing. Here's the C/C++ equivilent of what I'd like to do:


void DoTurn()
{
  cout << Turn << "'s turn!";
  int move;
  cin >> move
  // do some error checking...
  if (GameBoard[move])...
}

But NOOooooooo, C# only returns a string with the ReadLine() function and boxing has no effect whatsoever.

Something like that:
int moves = int.Parse( Console.ReadLine() );

string s = Console.ReadLine();try{    int n = Int32.Parse(s);}catch{    // s couldn't be parsed as an integer}

Or just:

Int32.Parse( Console.ReadLine() );
