C# - Convert Field From String To Int

I am trying to convert a field from a string to an int, then pass it to a query using tableadapters. I have the following function:

protected String countResponses(String value)
{
String input = value.ToString();
int fordb = Int32.Parse(input);
FrontendTableAdapters.ForumTableAdapter ta = new FrontendTableAdapters.ForumTableAdapter();
DataTable table = ta.CountPosts(value);
if (table.Rows.Count > 0)
{
return table.Rows[0].ItemArray[1].ToString();
}
else
{
return "Unknown";
}
}

It is working greate up to putting it in CountPosts() where I get the following error: Error 4Cannot implicitly convert type 'object' to 'System.Data.DataTable'. An explicit conversion exists (are you missing a cast?) :UsersDaveDesktopWebAppsFigmentvilleFigmentvilleyoursayDefault.aspx.cs 49 31 I think this is because it is looking for an int. But haven't I already converted it to an int?
