can int store string value in c#
<p>I am working on the front end of an application. I have to introduce one more filter criteria LoanNumber. Now loan number is E-100. Business layer and domain object is not in my control.  So i cannot change it. Domain object which holds loannumber is integer, I have to do</p>

<pre><code>ingeoFilterData.intLoanNumber="E-100"
</code></pre>

<p>ingeoFilterData is the domain object. intLoanNumber is declared as Nullable Int32 Now this domainobject is very critical and it goes to some external engine,so i cannot change it.</p>

<p>Please suggest some workaround.</p>

<p>Edit-</p>

<p>I am copying down loannumber from database table.</p>
