Int32::Parse Method (String^, IFormatProvider^)

 

Converts the string representation of a number in a specified culture-specific format to its 32-bit signed integer equivalent.

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

public:
static int Parse(
	String^ s,
	IFormatProvider^ provider
)

Parameters

s
Type: System::String^

A string containing a number to convert.

provider
Type: System::IFormatProvider^

An object that supplies culture-specific formatting information about s.

Return Value

Type: System::Int32

A 32-bit signed integer equivalent to the number specified in s.

Exception Condition
ArgumentNullException

s is null.

FormatException

s is not of the correct format.

OverflowException

s represents a number less than MinValue or greater than MaxValue.

This overload of the Parse(String^, IFormatProvider^) method is typically used to convert text that can be formatted in a variety of ways to an Int32 value. For example, it can be used to convert the text entered by a user into an HTML text box to a numeric value.

The s parameter contains a number of the form:

[ws][sign]digits[ws]

Items 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 decimal digits, only leading and trailing spaces together with a leading sign are allowed. To explicitly define the style elements that can be present in s, use the Int32::Parse(String^, NumberStyles, IFormatProvider^) method.

The provider parameter is an IFormatProvider implementation, such as a NumberFormatInfo or CultureInfo object. The provider parameter supplies culture-specific information about the format of s. If provider is null, the NumberFormatInfo object for the current culture is used.

The following example is the button click event handler of a Web form. It uses the array returned by the HttpRequest::UserLanguages property to determine the user's locale. It then instantiates a CultureInfo object that corresponds to that locale. The NumberFormatInfo object that belongs to that CultureInfo object is then passed to the Parse(String^, IFormatProvider^) method to convert the user's input to an Int32 value.
