C# Int16 Parse(String, NumberStyles, IFormatProvider)

Description

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

Syntax

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


public static short Parse(
  string s,//  w ww.ja  v  a2  s.  co m
  NumberStyles style,
  IFormatProvider provider
)

Parameters

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

s - A string containing a number to convert.
style - A bitwise combination of enumeration values that indicates the style elements that can be present in s. A typical value to specify is NumberStyles.Integer.
provider - An IFormatProvider that supplies culture-specific formatting information about s.

Returns

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

Example

The following example uses a variety of style and provider parameters to parse the string representations of Int16 values.


/*from   www  .  ja va  2  s. c om*/
using System;
using System.Globalization;
public class MainClass{
  public static void Main(String[] argv){  
   
    string value;
    short number;
    NumberStyles style;
    CultureInfo provider;
    
    // Parse string using "." as the thousands separator 
    // and " " as the decimal separator.
    value = "12 345,00";
    style = NumberStyles.AllowDecimalPoint | NumberStyles.AllowThousands;
    provider = new CultureInfo("fr-FR");
    
    number = Int16.Parse(value, style, provider);
    Console.WriteLine("'{0}' converted to {1}.", value, number);
    
    try
    {
       number = Int16.Parse(value, style, CultureInfo.InvariantCulture);
       Console.WriteLine("'{0}' converted to {1}.", value, number);
    }
    catch (FormatException)
    {
       Console.WriteLine("Unable to parse '{0}'.", value);
    }
    
    // Parse string using "$" as the currency symbol for en_GB and
    // en-US cultures. 
    value = "$1,234.00";
    style = NumberStyles.Number | NumberStyles.AllowCurrencySymbol;
    provider = new CultureInfo("en-GB");
    
    try
    {
       number = Int16.Parse(value, style, CultureInfo.InvariantCulture);
       Console.WriteLine("'{0}' converted to {1}.", value, number);
    }
    catch (FormatException)
    {
       Console.WriteLine("Unable to parse '{0}'.", value);
    }
    
    provider = new CultureInfo("en-US");
    number = Int16.Parse(value, style, provider);
    Console.WriteLine("'{0}' converted to {1}.", value, number);

  }
}

The code above generates the following result.
