C# Byte Parse(String, IFormatProvider)

Description

Byte Parse(String, IFormatProvider) converts the string representation of a number in a specified culture-specific format to its Byte equivalent.

Syntax

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


public static byte Parse(
  string s,
  IFormatProvider provider
)

Parameters

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

s - A string that contains a number to convert. The string is interpreted using the Integer style.
provider - An object that supplies culture-specific parsing information about s. If provider is null, the thread current culture is used.

Returns

Byte.Parse(String, IFormatProvider) method returns A byte value that is equivalent to the number contained in s.

Example

The following example parses string representations of Byte values with the Parse method.


/*from   w  ww.  j a  v a2s . c o m*/
using System;
using System.Globalization;

public class MainClass {
  public static void Main(String[] argv){ 
        string stringToConvert; 
        byte byteValue;
        
        stringToConvert = " 214 ";
        try {
           byteValue = Byte.Parse(stringToConvert, CultureInfo.InvariantCulture);
           Console.WriteLine("Converted '{0}' to {1}.", stringToConvert, byteValue);
        }
        catch (FormatException) {
           Console.WriteLine("Unable to parse '{0}'.", stringToConvert); }
        catch (OverflowException) {
           Console.WriteLine("'{0}' is greater than {1} or less than {2}.", 
                             stringToConvert, Byte.MaxValue, Byte.MinValue); 
        }

        stringToConvert = " + 214 ";
        try {
           byteValue = Byte.Parse(stringToConvert, CultureInfo.InvariantCulture);
           Console.WriteLine("Converted '{0}' to {1}.", stringToConvert, byteValue);
        }
        catch (FormatException) {
           Console.WriteLine("Unable to parse '{0}'.", stringToConvert); }
        catch (OverflowException) {
           Console.WriteLine("'{0}' is greater than {1} or less than {2}.", 
                             stringToConvert, Byte.MaxValue, Byte.MinValue); 
        }
        
        stringToConvert = " +214 ";
        try {
           byteValue = Byte.Parse(stringToConvert, CultureInfo.InvariantCulture);
           Console.WriteLine("Converted '{0}' to {1}.", stringToConvert, byteValue);
        }
        catch (FormatException) {
           Console.WriteLine("Unable to parse '{0}'.", stringToConvert); 
        }
        catch (OverflowException) {
           Console.WriteLine("'{0}' is greater than {1} or less than {2}.", 
                             stringToConvert, Byte.MaxValue, Byte.MinValue); 
        }
 
  }
}

The code above generates the following result.
