Syntax

public short

Fields

MaxValue

Represents the largest possible value of an Int16. This field is constant.

Declaration

public const short MaxValue = 32767

Field Value

Type	Description
short

Remarks

The value of this constant is 32767; that is, hexadecimal 0x7FFF.

MinValue

Represents the smallest possible value of Int16. This field is constant.

Declaration

public const short MinValue = -32768

Field Value

Type	Description
short

Remarks

The value of this constant is -32768; that is, hexadecimal 0x8000.

Methods

Parse(string)

Converts the string representation of a number to its 16-bit signed integer equivalent.

Declaration

public static short Parse(string s)

Parameters

Type	Name	Description
string	s	A string containing a number to convert.

Returns

Type	Description
short	A 16-bit signed integer equivalent to the number contained in s.

Exceptions

Type	Condition
ArgumentNullException	`s` is null.

ToString()

Converts the numeric value of this instance to its equivalent string representation.

Declaration

public override string ToString()

Returns

Type	Description
string	The string representation of the value of this instance, consisting of a minus sign if the value is negative, and a sequence of digits ranging from 0 to 9 with no leading zeroes.

Overrides

object.ToString()

ToString(string)

Converts the numeric value of this instance to its equivalent string representation, using the specified format

Declaration

public string ToString(string format)

Parameters

Type	Name	Description
string	format	A numeric format string.

Returns

Type	Description
string	The string representation of the value of this instance as specified by format.

TryParse(string, out short)

Converts the string representation of a number to its 16-bit signed integer equivalent. A return value indicates whether the conversion succeeded or failed.

Declaration

public static bool TryParse(string s, out short result)

Parameters

Type	Name	Description
string	s	A string that contains a number to convert.
short	result	When this method returns, contains the 16-bit signed integer value equivalent to the number contained in `s`, if the conversion succeeded, or zero if the conversion failed. The conversion fails if the `s` parameter is null or Empty, is not of the correct format, or represents a number less than MinValue or greater than MaxValue. This parameter is passed uninitialized; any value originally supplied in `result` will be overwritten.

Returns

Type	Description
bool	true if `s` was converted successfully; otherwise, false.

Remarks

The TryParse(string, out short) method differs from the Parse(string) method by returning a bool value that indicates whether the parse operation succeeded instead of returning the parsed short value. It eliminates the need to use exception handling to test for a FormatException in the event that s is invalid and cannot be successfully parsed.
