Converts the string representation of a number in a specified culture-specific format to its 16-bit signed integer equivalent.
Syntax
Parameters
- s
- s
- provider
Returns
A 16-bit signed integer equivalent to the number specified in s.
Exceptions
Type Reason ArgumentNullException s is a null reference. FormatException s is not in the correct style. OverflowException s represents a number greater than short.MaxValue or less than short.MinValue.
Remarks
The s parameter contains a number of the form:
[ws][sign]digits[ws]
Elements in square brackets ([ and ]) are optional. The following table describes each element.
| ws |
An optional white space. |
| sign |
An optional sign. |
| digits |
A sequence of digits ranging from 0 to 9. |
The s parameter is interpreted using the System.Globalization.NumberStyles.Integer style. In addition to decimal digits, only leading and trailing spaces together with a leading sign are allowed in s. To explicitly define the style elements together with the culture-specific formatting information that can be present in s, use the short.Parse(string, System.Globalization.NumberStyles, IFormatProvider) method.
The provider parameter is an IFormatProvider implementation that obtains a System.Globalization.NumberFormatInfo object. The System.Globalization.NumberFormatInfo provides culture-specific information about the format of s. If provider is null, the System.Globalization.NumberFormatInfo for the current culture is used.
