How would you validate integer input without using exceptions for an expected invalid value?

Use Integer.TryParse to attempt conversion and check its Boolean result before using the output. Invalid text and values outside the Integer range retu False instead of requiring an exception-driven branch. Add separate business validation, such as requiring a positive age, because successful parsing only establishes a representable integer. Specify culture and number-style rules when the input format requires them. Keep the original input available for a useful error message without inserting it into unsafe HTML or logs containing sensitive content.
