Converts the string representation of a number in a specified culture-specific format to its byte equivalent.
Syntax
Parameters
- s
- provider
- s
- provider
Returns
A byte value that is equivalent to the number contained in s.
Exceptions
Type Reason ArgumentNullException s is a null reference. OverflowException s represents a number greater than byte.MaxValue or less than byte.MinValue. FormatException s is not in the correct style.
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 |
Optional white space. |
| sign |
An optional positive 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 the byte value's decimal digits, only leading and trailing spaces together with a leading sign are allowed. (If the sign is present, it must be a positive sign or the method throws an OverflowException.) To explicitly define the style elements together with the culture-specific formatting information that can be present in s, use the byte.Parse(string, System.Globalization.NumberStyles, IFormatProvider) method.
The s parameter is parsed using the formatting information in a System.Globalization.NumberFormatInfo object supplied by provider. The provider parameter is an IFormatProvider implementation such as a System.Globalization.NumberFormatInfo or System.Globalization.CultureInfo object. The provider parameter supplies culture-specific information used in parsing. If provider is null, the thread current culture is used.
