C# Convert String to Integer

Question

I have finally taken the jump from VB.net to C# so I'm still having some issues. I am making a simple weather app that connects through a RSS feed. I want it to return a label that determines if it is freezing outside, however; I am having issues converting the temperature string to an integer so I can determine if the temperature is less than or equal to 32 degrees. Any ideas?

using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.ComponentModel;
using System.Data;
using System.Drawing;
using System.Linq;
using System.Text;
using System.Windows.Forms;
using System.Xml;

namespace WeatherApp
{
    public partial class frmWeather : Form
    {
        string Temperature;
        public frmWeather()
        {
            InitializeComponent();
        }
        private void getWeather()
        {
            string query = string.Format("http://weather.yahooapis.com/forecastrss?w=" + txtZip.Text);
            XmlDocument wData = new XmlDocument();
            wData.Load(query);
            XmlNamespaceManager manager = new XmlNamespaceManager(wData.NameTable);
            manager.AddNamespace("yweather", "http://xml.weather.yahoo.com/ns/rss/1.0");
            XmlNode channel = wData.SelectSingleNode("rss").SelectSingleNode("channel");
            XmlNodeList nodes = wData.SelectNodes("/rss/channel/item/yweather:forecast", manager);
            Temperature = channel.SelectSingleNode("item").SelectSingleNode("yweather:condition", manager).Attributes["temp"].Value;
        }
        private void tmrWeather_Tick(object sender, EventArgs e)
        {
            getWeather();
            DateTime now = DateTime.Now;
            lblTemp.Text = "" + Temperature;
            if (lblTemp.Text <= "32")
            {
                lblResult.Text = "It is freezing outside!";
            }
        }
    }
}

You can use Convert.ToInt32() method to convert your String into integer

Try This:

      //lblTemp.Text = "" + Temperature;  this statement is not required.
      if (Convert.ToInt32(Temperature) <= 32)
        {
            lblResult.Text = "It is freezing outside!";
        }

OR

you can use int.TryParse() method to perform the proper conversion even if the data is invalid.

Try This:

        int temp;
        if (int.TryParse(Temperature,out temp))
        {
             if(temp <= 32)             
             lblResult.Text = "It is freezing outside!";
        }
