Thread Safety
Any public static (Shared in Visual Basic) members of this type are thread safe. Any instance members are not guaranteed to be thread safe.
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 Implementing a Type Converter.
Example
[Visual Basic, C#, C++] The following sample converts a variable of type SByte to a string, and vice versa.
[Visual Basic] 'This data type is not supported in Visual Basic. [C#] sbyte mySByte=+121; string mySByteStr="-100"; Console.WriteLine(TypeDescriptor.GetConverter(mySByte).ConvertTo(mySByte, typeof(string))); Console.WriteLine(TypeDescriptor.GetConverter(mySByte).ConvertFrom(mySByteStr)); [C++] SByte mySByte( +121 ); String* mySByteStr = S"-100"; Console::WriteLine(TypeDescriptor::GetConverter(__box(mySByte))->ConvertTo(__box(mySByte), __typeof(String))); Console::WriteLine(TypeDescriptor::GetConverter(__box(mySByte))->ConvertFrom(mySByteStr));
