Storing A String As An Int

I am writing an app in c#. I will be using the following code to get a number from the user. I had to make the variable a string to prevent any kind of conversion to be required.


string newID;

Console.WriteLine("Enter a new ID");

newID = Console.ReadLine();

Console.WriteLine("The new ID is {0}", newID);

Console.ReadLine();


The ID that this will be collecting will be stored in a SQL Server 2005 Express database. The field in the database is of the type int. Will there be a problem saving this number from the code above into the database? Will there be a problem b/c the datatypes don't match?
