ToSByte Method

[This documentation is for preview only, and is subject to change in later releases. Blank topics are included as placeholders.]

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
)

[CLSCompliantAttribute(false)]
public:
static signed char ToSByte(
    String^ value
)

[<CLSCompliantAttribute(false)>]
static member ToSByte : 
        value:string -> sbyte 

public static function ToSByte(
    value : String
) : sbyte

Parameters

Return Value

Type: System. . :: . .SByte
An 8-bit signed integer that is equivalent to the number in value, or 0 (zero) if value is nullNothingnullptrunita null reference (Nothing in Visual Basic).

Exceptions

Exception Condition
FormatException

value does not consist of an optional sign followed by a sequence of digits (0 through 9).
OverflowException

value represents a number that is less than SByte..::..MinValue or greater than SByte..::..MaxValue.

Remarks

Using the ToSByte(String) method is equivalent to passing value to the SByte..::..Parse(String) method. value is interpreted by using the formatting conventions of the current thread culture.

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.
