What do you mean by override?
You mean like how Int32.Parse() can take in extra parameters to allow for non-numerical characters?

Well, you can't directly override it, because you can't derive from the Convert class. Static classes can only derive from Object, and non-static classes can't derive from static ones, which Convert is.

You would have to write your own function to mimic this one.

Thank you alias..
i tried the same thing then flopped and now i'm settled with my own function
changed the name from Convert.ToInt32 ("") to ConvertToInt32( "") :)

Glad you figured it out.
