C# Byte Parse(String)

Description

Byte Parse(String) converts the string representation of a number to its Byte equivalent.

Syntax

Byte.Parse(String) has the following syntax.


public static byte Parse(
  string s
)

Parameters

Byte.Parse(String) has the following parameters.

s - A string that contains a number to convert. The string is interpreted using the Integer style.

Returns

Byte.Parse(String) method returns A byte value that is equivalent to the number contained in s.

Example

The following example demonstrates how to convert a string value into a byte value using the Byte.Parse(String) method.


using System;/*from   w w w  .j a v a 2 s  .c om*/

public class MainClass {
  public static void Main(String[] argv){  
    string stringToConvert = " 162";
    byte byteValue;
    try
    {
       byteValue = Byte.Parse(stringToConvert);
       Console.WriteLine("Converted '{0}' to {1}.", stringToConvert, byteValue);
    }   
    catch (FormatException)
    {
       Console.WriteLine("Unable to parse '{0}'.", stringToConvert);
    }
    catch (OverflowException)
    {
       Console.WriteLine("'{0}' is greater than {1} or less than {2}.", 
                         stringToConvert, Byte.MaxValue, Byte.MinValue);
    }      
  }
}

The code above generates the following result.
