C# Int16 Parse(String, IFormatProvider)

Description

Int16 Parse(String, IFormatProvider) converts the string representation of a number in a specified culture-specific format to its 16-bit signed integer equivalent.

Syntax

Int16.Parse(String, IFormatProvider) has the following syntax.


public static short Parse(
  string s,
  IFormatProvider provider
)

Parameters

Int16.Parse(String, IFormatProvider) has the following parameters.

s - A string containing a number to convert.
provider - An IFormatProvider that supplies culture-specific formatting information about s.

Returns

Int16.Parse(String, IFormatProvider) method returns A 16-bit signed integer equivalent to the number specified in s.

Example

The following example parses string representations of Int16 values with the Int16.Parse(String, IFormatProvider) method.


using System.Globalization;
using System;//from www .  ja v  a  2s  . c  o  m
public class MainClass{
  public static void Main(String[] argv){  
    string stringToConvert;
    short number;
    
    stringToConvert = " 123 ";
    try
    {
       number = Int16.Parse(stringToConvert, CultureInfo.InvariantCulture);
       Console.WriteLine("Converted '{0}' to {1}.", stringToConvert, number);
    }
    catch (FormatException)
    {
       Console.WriteLine("Unable to parse '{0}'.", stringToConvert);
    }
    catch (OverflowException)
    {
       Console.WriteLine("'{0'} is out of range of the Int16 data type.", 
                         stringToConvert);
    }
    
    stringToConvert = " + 123";                     
    try
    {
       number = Int16.Parse(stringToConvert, CultureInfo.InvariantCulture);
       Console.WriteLine("Converted '{0}' to {1}.", stringToConvert, number);
    }
    catch (FormatException)
    {
       Console.WriteLine("Unable to parse '{0}'.", stringToConvert);
    }
    catch (OverflowException)
    {
       Console.WriteLine("'{0'} is out of range of the Int16 data type.", 
                         stringToConvert);
    }
    
    stringToConvert = " +123 "; 
    try
    {
       number = Int16.Parse(stringToConvert, CultureInfo.InvariantCulture);
       Console.WriteLine("Converted '{0}' to {1}.", stringToConvert, number);
    }
    catch (FormatException)
    {
       Console.WriteLine("Unable to parse '{0}'.", stringToConvert);
    }
    catch (OverflowException)
    {
       Console.WriteLine("'{0'} is out of range of the Int16 data type.", 
                         stringToConvert);
    }

  }
}

The code above generates the following result.
