LINQ: Using int.TryParse() within a LINQ where clause

I pretty new to LINQ, and I’m keen to get more experience using it, so whenever an opportunity arises I like to try writing LINQ queries. I needed to write a method to extract a comma separated list of numbers from a config file, and return this as List. I was looking at ways to do this using LINQ, but hit a problem.
