Parameters

s

A string containing the value to convert. The string is interpreted using the style specified by style. [Edit]

style

Zero or more System.Globalization.NumberStyles values that specify the style of s. Specify multiple values for style using the bitwise OR operator. If style is a null reference, the string is interpreted using the System.Globalization.NumberStyles.Integer style. [Edit]

provider

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

The sbyte value obtained from s. [Edit]

Exceptions

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

Remarks

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, System.Globalization.NumberStyles, IFormatProvider).
