SByte::Parse Method (String)
Converts the string representation of a number to its 8-bit signed integer equivalent.
Assembly: mscorlib (in mscorlib.dll)
Parameters
- s
- Type: System::String
A string that represents a number to convert. The string is interpreted using the NumberStyles::Integer style.
Return Value
Type: System::SByteAn 8-bit signed integer that is equivalent to the number contained in the s parameter.
| Exception | Condition |
|---|---|
| ArgumentException | s is nullptr. |
| FormatException | s does not consist of an optional sign followed by a sequence of digits (zero through nine). |
| OverflowException | s represents a number less than MinValue or greater than MaxValue. |
The s parameter contains a number of the form:
[ws][sign]digits[ws]
Elements in square brackets ([ and ]) are optional. The following table describes each element.
Element | Description |
|---|---|
ws | Optional white space. |
sign | An optional sign. |
digits | A sequence of digits ranging from 0 to 9. |
The s parameter is interpreted using the NumberStyles::Integer style. In addition to the byte value's decimal digits, only leading and trailing spaces with a leading positive or negative sign are allowed. To explicitly define the style elements that can be present in s, use either the Parse(String, NumberStyles) or the Parse(String, NumberStyles, IFormatProvider) method.
The s parameter is parsed by using the formatting information in a NumberFormatInfo that is initialized for the current system culture. For more information, see NumberFormatInfo::CurrentInfo. To parse a string by using the formatting information of some other culture, use the Parse(String, NumberStyles, IFormatProvider) method.
