C# Char TryParse

Description

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

Syntax

Char.TryParse has the following syntax.

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

Parameters

Char.TryParse has the following parameters.

• s - A string that contains a single character, or null.
• result - 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

Char.TryParse method returns true if the s parameter was converted successfully; otherwise, false.

Example

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

/* w w w.j a v  a2 s  .  c om*/
using System;
using System.Globalization;

class Sample 
{
    public static void Main() 
    {
        bool     result;
    
        Char     charVal;
    
        result = Char.TryParse("A", out charVal);
        Console.WriteLine(result);
        Console.WriteLine(charVal.ToString());

    }
}

The code above generates the following result.
