Example

The following example demonstrates converting string values to byte values.

C# Example

using System; class ConvertByteTest { static public void Main() { string string0 = "+22"; string string1 = "0"; string string2 = "-1"; byte byte0 = Convert.ToByte(string0); byte byte1 = Convert.ToByte(string1); Console.WriteLine("(string) {0} as byte = {1}",string0,byte0); Console.WriteLine("(string) {0} as byte = {1}",string1,byte1); byte byte2 = Convert.ToByte(string2); Console.WriteLine("(string) {0} as byte = {1}",string2,byte2); } }

The output is

(string) +22 as byte = 22
(string) 0 as byte = 0
Exception occurred: System.OverflowException: Value was either too large or too small for an unsigned byte.
