To avoid exceptions with .Parse, here are some .TryParse alternatives.
To use only the elements that can be parsed:
string[] arr = { null, " ", " 1 ", " 002 ", "3.0" };
int i = 0;
var a = (from s in arr where int.TryParse(s, out i) select i).ToArray(); // a = { 1, 2 }
or
var a = arr.SelectMany(s => int.TryParse(s, out i) ? new[] { i } : new int[0]).ToArray();
Alternatives using 0 for the elements that can't be parsed:
int i;
var a = Array.ConvertAll(arr, s => int.TryParse(s, out i) ? i : 0); //a = { 0, 0, 1, 2, 0 }
or
var a = arr.Select((s, i) => int.TryParse(s, out i) ? i : 0).ToArray();
var a = Array.ConvertAll(arr, s => int.TryParse(s, out var i) ? i : 0);
