Parameters

s

A string containing the value to convert. The string is interpreted using the System.Globalization.NumberStyles.Integer style.

Returns

The sbyte value obtained from s.

Exceptions

Type	Reason
ArgumentException	s is a null reference.
FormatException	s is not in the correct style.
OverflowException	s represents a number greater than sbyte.MaxValue or less than sbyte.MinValue.

Remarks

This version of sbyte.Parse(string) is equivalent to sbyte.Parse(string) (s, System.Globalization.NumberStyles.Integer, null).

The string s is parsed using the formatting information in a System.Globalization.NumberFormatInfo initialized for the current system culture.

Note: for more information, see System.Globalization.NumberFormatInfo.CurrentInfo.

This method is not CLS-compliant. For a CLS-compliant alternative use short.Parse(string) (string).

Example

This example demonstrates the sbyte.Parse(string)(string) method.

C# Example

using System;
public class SByteParseClass {
  public static void Main() {
    string str = "  100   ";
    Console.WriteLine("String: \"{0}\" <SByte> {1}",
                      str,SByte.Parse(str));
  }
}

The output is

String: " 100 " <SByte> 100
