asp.net mvc 3 using IsInt() in controller

Question

I would like to check if my variable is an integer in controller. In view I can easily use isInt() but not in the controller. Do I need to have a special reference to use that method?

Thank you.

If you add the following namespace you can use it in your controller.

using System.Web.Webpages;

Depending on your usage you might want to use Int32.TryParse() instead.
