Byte.TryParse Method (String, Byte%)

Microsoft Silverlight will reach end of support after October 2021. Learn more.

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

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

Syntax

'Declaration
Public Shared Function TryParse ( _
    s As String, _
    <OutAttribute> ByRef result As Byte _
) As Boolean

public static bool TryParse(
    string s,
    out byte result
)

Parameters

s
Type: System.String
A string that contains a number to convert. The string is interpreted using the Integer style.

result
Type: System.Byte%
When this method returns, contains the Byte value equivalent to the number contained in s if the conversion succeeded, or zero if the conversion failed. This parameter is passed uninitialized.

Return Value

Type: System.Boolean
true if s was converted successfully; otherwise, false.

Remarks

The conversion fails and the method returns false if the s parameter is not in the correct format, if it is nulla null reference (Nothing in Visual Basic), or if it represents a number less than MinValue or greater than MaxValue.

The Byte.TryParse(String, Byte%) method is similar to the Byte.Parse(String) method, except that TryParse(String, Byte%) does not throw an exception if the conversion fails.

The s parameter should be the string representation of a 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 positive sign, as specified by the NumberFormatInfo.PositiveSign property of the current culture.
digits	A sequence of decimal digits that range from 0 to 9.

The s parameter is interpreted using the Integer style. In addition to the byte value's decimal digits, only leading and trailing spaces together with a leading sign are allowed. (If the sign is present, it must be a positive sign or the method throws an OverflowException.) To explicitly define the style elements together with the culture-specific formatting information that can be present in s, use the Byte.Parse(String, NumberStyles, IFormatProvider) method.

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

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

Examples

The following example calls the TryParse(String, Byte%) method with a number of different string values.

Module Example
   Public Sub Demo(ByVal outputBlock As System.Windows.Controls.TextBlock)
      Dim byteString As String = Nothing
      CallTryParse(outputBlock, byteString)

      byteString = String.Empty
      CallTryParse(outputBlock, byteString)

      byteString = "1024"
      CallTryParse(outputBlock, byteString)

      byteString = "100.1"
      CallTryParse(outputBlock, byteString)

      byteString = "100"
      CallTryParse(outputBlock, byteString)

      byteString = "+100"
      CallTryParse(outputBlock, byteString)

      byteString = "-100"
      CallTryParse(outputBlock, byteString)

      byteString = "000000000000000100"
      CallTryParse(outputBlock, byteString)

      byteString = "00,100"
      CallTryParse(outputBlock, byteString)

      byteString = "   20   "
      CallTryParse(outputBlock, byteString)

      byteString = "FF"
      CallTryParse(outputBlock, byteString)

      byteString = "0x1F"
      CallTryParse(outputBlock, byteString)
   End Sub

   Private Sub CallTryParse(ByVal outputBlock As System.Windows.Controls.TextBlock, ByVal stringToConvert As String)
      Dim byteValue As Byte
      Dim result As Boolean = Byte.TryParse(stringToConvert, byteValue)
      If result Then
         outputBlock.Text += String.Format("Converted '{0}' to {1}", _
                        stringToConvert, byteValue) + vbCrLf
      Else
         If stringToConvert Is Nothing Then stringToConvert = ""
         outputBlock.Text += String.Format("Attempted conversion of '{0}' failed.", _
                           stringToConvert.ToString()) + vbCrLf
      End If
   End Sub
End Module
