Char.TryParse(String, Char) Method

Definition

Converts the value of the specified string to its equivalent Unicode character. A return code indicates whether the conversion succeeded or failed.

public:
 static bool TryParse(System::String ^ s, [Runtime::InteropServices::Out] char % result);
public static bool TryParse (string s, out char result);
public static bool TryParse (string? s, out char result);
static member TryParse : string * char -> bool
Public Shared Function TryParse (s As String, ByRef result As Char) As Boolean

Parameters

s
String

A string that contains a single character, or null.

result
Char

When this method returns, contains a Unicode character equivalent to the sole character in s, if the conversion succeeded, or an undefined value if the conversion failed. The conversion fails if the s parameter is null or the length of s is not 1. This parameter is passed uninitialized.

Returns

true if the s parameter was converted successfully; otherwise, false.

Examples

The following code example demonstrates overloads of the TryParse method for several base types, and the TryParseExact method for the DateTime base type.

// This example demonstrates overloads of the TryParse method for
// several base types, and the TryParseExact method for DateTime.
// In most cases, this example uses the most complex overload; that is, the overload
// with the most parameters for a particular type. If a complex overload specifies
// null (Nothing in Visual Basic) for the IFormatProvider parameter, formatting
// information is obtained from the culture associated with the current thread.
// If a complex overload specifies the style parameter, the parameter value is
// the default value used by the equivalent simple overload.

Remarks

The TryParse method is like the Parse method, except the TryParse method does not throw an exception if the conversion fails.
