SByte::Parse Method (String^)

Parameters

s

Type: System::String^

A string that represents a number to convert. The string is interpreted using the NumberStyles::Integer style.

Return Value

An 8-bit signed integer that is equivalent to the number contained in the s parameter.

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.

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.
