SByte::TryParse Method (String^, SByte%)

 

Tries to convert the string representation of a number to its SByte equivalent, and returns a value that indicates whether the conversion succeeded.

This API is not CLS-compliant.

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

public:
[CLSCompliantAttribute(false)]
static bool TryParse(
	String^ s,
	[OutAttribute] signed char% result
)

Parameters

s
Type: System::String^

A string that contains a number to convert.

result
Type: System::SByte%

When this method returns, contains the 8-bit signed integer value that is equivalent to the number contained in s if the conversion succeeded, or zero if the conversion failed. The conversion fails if the s parameter is null or String::Empty, is not in the correct format, or represents a number that is less than MinValue or greater than MaxValue. This parameter is passed uninitialized; any value originally supplied in result will be overwritten.

Return Value

Type: System::Boolean

true if s was converted successfully; otherwise, false.

The SByte::TryParse(String^, SByte%) method is like the SByte::Parse(String^) method, except that it does not throw an exception if the conversion fails. This method eliminates the need to use exception handling to test for a FormatException if value is invalid and cannot be successfully parsed.

The s parameter should be the string representation of a decimal number in the following 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. Valid sign characters are determined by the NumberFormatInfo::NegativeSign and NumberFormatInfo::PositiveSign properties of the current culture.

digits

A sequence of decimal digits ranging from 0 to 9.

System_CAPS_noteNote

The string specified by the value parameter cannot contain any group separators or decimal separator, and it cannot have a decimal portion.

The s parameter is interpreted by using the NumberStyles::Integer style. In addition to the decimal digits, only leading and trailing spaces with a leading sign are allowed. To explicitly define the style elements with the culture-specific formatting information that can be present in value, call the TryParse(String^, NumberStyles, IFormatProvider^, SByte%) method.

The s parameter is parsed by using the formatting information in a NumberFormatInfo object for the current culture. For more information, see NumberFormatInfo::CurrentInfo.

This overload interprets all digits in the value parameter as decimal digits. To parse the string representation of a hexadecimal number, call the TryParse(String^, NumberStyles, IFormatProvider^, SByte%) overload instead.

The following example tries to convert the strings in an array to SByte values by calling the TryParse(String^, SByte%) method.
