Assembly: mscorlib.dll

Syntax

public struct SByte

Fields

MaxValue

Represents the largest possible value of SByte. This field is constant.

Declaration

public const sbyte MaxValue = 127

Field Value

Type	Description
SByte

Remarks

The value of this constant is 127; that is, hexadecimal 0x7F.

MinValue

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

Declaration

public const sbyte MinValue = -128

Field Value

Type	Description
SByte

Remarks

The value of this constant is -128; that is, hexadecimal 0x80.

Methods

Parse(String)

Converts the string representation of a number to its 8-bit signed integer equivalent.

Declaration

[CLSCompliant(false)]
public static sbyte Parse(string s)

Parameters

Type	Name	Description
String	s	A string that represents a number to convert. The string is interpreted using the NumberStyles.Integer style.

Returns

Type	Description
SByte	An 8-bit signed integer that is equivalent to the number contained in the s parameter.

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 negative 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 standard or custom numeric format string.

Returns

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

TryParse(String, out SByte)

Tries to convert the string representation of a number to its SByte equivalent, and returns a value that indicates whether the conversion succeeded.

Declaration

[CLSCompliant(false)]
public static bool TryParse(string s, out sbyte result)

Parameters

Type	Name	Description
String	s	A string that contains a number to convert.
SByte	result	When this method returns, contains the 8-bit signed integer value that is 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 in the correct format, or represents a number that is less than MinValue or greater than MaxValue. This parameter is passed uninitialized; any value originally supplied in result will be overwritten.

Returns

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

Remarks

The TryParse(String, out SByte)(String, SByte) method is like the Parse(String)(String) method, except that it does not throw an exception if the conversion fails. This method eliminates the need to use exception handling to test for a FormatException if value is invalid and cannot be successfully parsed.
