Convert.ToInt16 Method (String, IFormatProvider)
Converts the specified string representation of a number to an equivalent 16-bit signed integer, using the specified culture-specific formatting information.
Assembly: mscorlib (in mscorlib.dll)
Parameters
- value
-
Type:
System.String
A string that contains the number to convert.
- provider
-
Type:
System.IFormatProvider
An object that supplies culture-specific formatting information.
Return Value
Type: System.Int16A 16-bit signed integer that is equivalent to the number in value, or 0 (zero) if value is null.
| Exception | Condition |
|---|---|
| FormatException | value does not consist of an optional sign followed by a sequence of digits (0 through 9). |
| OverflowException | value represents a number that is less than Int16.MinValue or greater than Int16.MaxValue. |
provider is an IFormatProvider instance that obtains a NumberFormatInfo object. The NumberFormatInfo object provides culture-specific information about the format of value. If provider is null, the NumberFormatInfo for the current culture is used.
If you prefer not to handle an exception if the conversion fails, you can call the Int16.TryParse method instead. It returns a Boolean value that indicates whether the conversion succeeded or failed.
The following example converts string representations of 16-bit integers with the ToInt16 method, using an IFormatProvider object.
