SByte::Parse Method (String^)

 
clsCompliantAlternativeM:System.Int16.Parse(System.String)

Converts the string representation of a number to its 8-bit signed integer equivalent.

This API is not CLS-compliant.

Namespace:   System
Assembly:  mscorlib (in mscorlib.dll)

public:
[CLSCompliantAttribute(false)]
static signed char Parse(
	String^ s
)

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::SByte

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

Exception Condition
ArgumentException

s is null.

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.

The following example demonstrates how to convert a string value into a signed byte value using the Parse method. The resulting signed byte value is then displayed to the console.
