Given the variable

string ids = Request.QueryString["ids"]; // "1,2,3,4,5";

Is there any way to convert it into a List without doing something like

List<int> myList = new List<int>();

foreach (string id in ids.Split(','))
{
    if (int.TryParse(id))
    {
        myList.Add(Convert.ToInt32(id));
    }
}
