Syntax

'Declaration
Public Shared Function ToInt16 ( _
    value As String _
) As Short

public static short ToInt16(
    string value
)

public:
static short ToInt16(
    String^ value
)

static member ToInt16 : 
        value:string -> int16 

public static function ToInt16(
    value : String
) : short

Parameters

Return Value

Type: System. . :: . .Int16
A 16-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 Int16..::..MinValue or greater than Int16..::..MaxValue.

Remarks

Using the ToInt16(String) method is equivalent to passing value to the Int16..::..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 Int16.TryParse method instead. It returns a Boolean value that indicates whether the conversion succeeded or failed.
