SByteConverter Class

.NET Framework 3.0

Provides a type converter to convert 8-bit unsigned integer objects to and from a string.

Namespace: System.ComponentModel
Assembly: System (in system.dll)

public class SByteConverter : BaseNumberConverter

public class SByteConverter extends BaseNumberConverter

JScript

public class SByteConverter extends BaseNumberConverter

XAML

Not applicable.

Remarks

This converter can convert only an 8-bit unsigned integer object to and from a string.

The SByte value type represents integers with values ranging from negative 128 to positive 127. This data type is not supported in Visual Basic.

Note:
You should never create an instance of SByteConverter. Instead, call the GetConverter method of TypeDescriptor. For more information, see the examples in the TypeConverter base class and How to: Implement a Type Converter.

Example

The following sample converts a variable of type SByte to a string, and vice versa.

C++

sbyte mySByte=+121;
string mySByteStr="-100";
Console.WriteLine(TypeDescriptor.GetConverter(mySByte).ConvertTo(mySByte, typeof(string))); 
Console.WriteLine(TypeDescriptor.GetConverter(mySByte).ConvertFrom(mySByteStr));

byte mySByte = +121;
String mySByteStr = "-100";
Console.WriteLine(TypeDescriptor.GetConverter((System.Byte)mySByte).
    ConvertTo((System.Byte)mySByte, String.class.ToType()));
Console.WriteLine(TypeDescriptor.GetConverter((System.SByte)mySByte).
    ConvertFrom(mySByteStr));
