How to convert a nullable int to common int

Question

I have a method that gets an integer that can be null, if it happens some executions of methods, but when I will use the same variable in a place that uses int which cannot be null, it appears that the overload is incorrect.

So I wonder how I can make this conversion, is there any method that does it like ToString?

Code with the problem

public HttpResponseMessage Metodo(int? variavel = chamadademetodo.metodo {

            if (variavel == null) {
                ...
            }

            var bla2= blablabla.metodo(variavel, DataContext); //aqui acusa problema
}

Answer 1

You can also use:

int variavelNNula = variavel.GetValueOrDefault();

In case the int default would be zero.

Answer 2

Normally, the following technique solves:

public HttpResponseMessage Metodo(int? variavel)
{
    var variavelNaoNula = variavel ?? 0;

    var bla2= blablabla.Metodo(variavelNaoNula, DataContext);
}
