Int32.Parse Method (String)
Microsoft Silverlight will reach end of support after October 2021. Learn more.
Converts the string representation of a number to its 32-bit signed integer equivalent.
Namespace: System
Assembly: mscorlib (in mscorlib.dll)
Syntax
'Declaration
Public Shared Function Parse ( _
s As String _
) As Integer
public static int Parse(
string s
)
Parameters
- s
Type: System.String
A string containing a number to convert.
Return Value
Type: System.Int32
A 32-bit signed integer equivalent to the number contained in s.
Exceptions
| Exception | Condition |
|---|---|
| ArgumentNullException | s is nulla null reference (Nothing in Visual Basic). |
| FormatException | s is not in the correct format. |
| OverflowException | s represents a number less than MinValue or greater than MaxValue. |
Remarks
The s parameter contains a number of the form:
[ws][sign]digits[ws]
Items in square brackets ([ and ]) are optional. The following table describes each element.
Element |
Description |
|---|---|
ws |
Optional white space. |
sign |
An optional sign. |
digits |
A sequence of digits ranging from 0 to 9. |
The s parameter is interpreted using the NumberStyles.Integer style. In addition to decimal digits, only leading and trailing spaces together with a leading sign are allowed. To explicitly define the style elements that can be present in s, use either the Int32.Parse(String, NumberStyles) or the Int32.Parse(String, NumberStyles, IFormatProvider) method.
The s parameter is parsed using the formatting information in a NumberFormatInfo object initialized for the current system culture. For more information, see CurrentInfo. To parse a string using the formatting information of some other culture, use the Byte.Parse(String, NumberStyles, IFormatProvider) method.
Examples
The following example demonstrates how to convert a string value into a 32-bit signed integer value using the Int32.Parse(String) method. It then displays the resulting integer value.
Module Example
Public Sub Demo(ByVal outputBlock As System.Windows.Controls.TextBlock)
Convert(outputBlock, " 179 ")
Convert(outputBlock, " -204 ")
Convert(outputBlock, " +809 ")
Convert(outputBlock, " 178.3")
End Sub
Private Sub Convert(ByVal outputBlock As System.Windows.Controls.TextBlock, ByVal value As String)
Try
Dim number As Integer = Int32.Parse(value)
outputBlock.Text += String.Format("Converted '{0}' to {1}.", value, number) & vbCrLf
Catch e As FormatException
outputBlock.Text += String.Format("Unable to convert '{0}'.", value) & vbCrLf
End Try
End Sub
End Module
' This example displays the following output:
' Converted ' 179 ' to 179.
' Converted ' -204 ' to -204.
' Converted ' +809 ' to 809.
' Unable to convert ' 178.3'.
using System;
public class Example
{
public static void Demo(System.Windows.Controls.TextBlock outputBlock)
{
Convert(outputBlock, " 179 ");
Convert(outputBlock, " -204 ");
Convert(outputBlock, " +809 ");
Convert(outputBlock, " 178.3");
}
private static void Convert(System.Windows.Controls.TextBlock outputBlock, string value)
{
try
{
int number = Int32.Parse(value);
outputBlock.Text += String.Format("Converted '{0}' to {1}.", value, number) + "\n";
}
catch (FormatException)
{
outputBlock.Text += String.Format("Unable to convert '{0}'.", value) + "\n";
}
}
}
// This example displays the following output:
