Parameters

s

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

provider

A IFormatProvider that supplies a System.Globalization.NumberFormatInfo containing culture-specific formatting information about s.

Returns

The sbyte value obtained from s.

Exceptions

Type	Reason
ArgumentNullException	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, provider).

The string s is parsed using the culture-specific formatting information from the System.Globalization.NumberFormatInfo instance supplied by provider. If provider is null or a System.Globalization.NumberFormatInfo cannot be obtained from provider, the formatting information for the current system culture is used.

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