Convert.ToSByte Method (String)

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

Converts the specified String representation of a number to an equivalent 8-bit signed integer.

This API is not CLS-compliant. 

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

Syntax

'Declaration
<CLSCompliantAttribute(False)> _
Public Shared Function ToSByte ( _
    value As String _
) As SByte
[CLSCompliantAttribute(false)]
public static sbyte ToSByte(
    string value
)

Parameters

Return Value

Type: System.SByte
An 8-bit signed integer equivalent to the value of value.
-or-
Zero if value is nulla null reference (Nothing in Visual Basic).

Exceptions

Exception Condition
FormatException

value does not consist of an optional sign followed by a sequence of digits (zero through nine).

OverflowException

value represents a number less than MinValue or greater than MaxValue.

Remarks

If you prefer not to handle an exception if the conversion fails, you can call the SByte.TryParse method instead. It returns a Boolean value that indicates whether the conversion succeeded or failed.

Examples

The following code example converts String representations of SByte (signed byte) values with the ToSByte method, using default formatting.

' Convert.ToSByte( String, IFormatProvider ) methods.
Imports System.Globalization

Module Example

   Dim format As String = "{0,-20}{1,-20}{2}"

   ' Get the exception type name; remove the namespace prefix.

      Dim exceptionType As String = ex.GetType().ToString()
      Return exceptionType.Substring( _
          exceptionType.LastIndexOf("."c) + 1)
   End Function
