Remarks

The style parameter defines the style elements (such as white space or the positive sign) that are allowed in the s parameter for the parse operation to succeed. It must be a combination of bit flags from the NumberStyles enumeration. Depending on the value of style, the s parameter may include the following elements:

[ws][$][sign][digits,]digits[.fractional_digits][e[sign]digits][ws]

Or, if style includes AllowHexSpecifier:

[ws]hexdigits[ws]

Elements in square brackets ([ and ]) are optional. The following table describes each element.

Element	Description
ws	Optional white space. White space can appear at the beginning of `s` if `style` includes the NumberStyles.AllowLeadingWhite flag, or at the end of `s` if `style` includes the NumberStyles.AllowTrailingWhite flag.
$	A culture-specific currency symbol. Its position in the string is defined by the NumberFormatInfo.CurrencyPositivePattern and NumberFormatInfo.CurrencyNegativePattern property of the current culture. The current culture's currency symbol can appear in `s` if `style` includes the NumberStyles.AllowCurrencySymbol flag.
sign	An optional sign. The sign can appear at the beginning of `s` if `style` includes the NumberStyles.AllowLeadingSign flag, and it can appear at the end of `s` if `style` includes the NumberStyles.AllowTrailingSign flag. Parentheses can be used in `s` to indicate a negative value if `style` includes the NumberStyles.AllowParentheses flag.
digits	A sequence of digits from 0 through 9.
,	A culture-specific thousands separator symbol. The current culture's thousands separator symbol can appear in `s` if `style` includes the NumberStyles.AllowThousands flag.
.	A culture-specific decimal point symbol. The current culture's decimal point symbol can appear in `s` if `style` includes the NumberStyles.AllowDecimalPoint flag.
fractional_digits	A sequence of the 0 digit. Fractional digits can appear in `s` if `style` includes the NumberStyles.AllowDecimalPoint flag. If any digit other than 0 appears in fractional_digits, the method throws an OverflowException.
e	The 'e' or 'E' character, which indicates that `s` can be represented in exponential notation. The `s` parameter can represent a number in exponential notation if `style` includes the NumberStyles.AllowExponent flag. However, the `s` parameter must represent a number in the range of the Int16 data type and cannot have a non-zero fractional component.
hexdigits	A sequence of hexadecimal digits from 0 through f, or 0 through F.

Note

Any terminating NUL (U+0000) characters in s are ignored by the parsing operation, regardless of the value of the style argument.

A string with digits only (which corresponds to the NumberStyles.None style) always parses successfully. Most of the remaining NumberStyles members control elements that may be but are not required to be present in this input string. The following table indicates how individual NumberStyles members affect the elements that may be present in s.

Non-composite NumberStyles values	Elements permitted in s in addition to digits
NumberStyles.None	Decimal digits only.
NumberStyles.AllowDecimalPoint	The . and fractional_digits elements. However, fractional_digits must consist of only one or more 0 digits or an OverflowException is thrown.
NumberStyles.AllowExponent	The `s` parameter can also use exponential notation.
NumberStyles.AllowLeadingWhite	The ws element at the beginning of `s`.
NumberStyles.AllowTrailingWhite	The ws element at the end of `s`.
NumberStyles.AllowLeadingSign	A sign can appear before digits.
NumberStyles.AllowTrailingSign	A sign can appear after digits.
NumberStyles.AllowParentheses	The sign element in the form of parentheses enclosing the numeric value.
NumberStyles.AllowThousands	The , element.
NumberStyles.AllowCurrencySymbol	The $ element.

If the NumberStyles.AllowHexSpecifier flag is used, s must be the string representation of a hexadecimal value without a prefix. For example, "9AF3" parses successfully, but "0x9AF3" does not.. The only other flags that can be present in style are NumberStyles.AllowLeadingWhite and NumberStyles.AllowTrailingWhite. (The NumberStyles enumeration has a composite number style, NumberStyles.HexNumber, that includes both white space flags.)

The provider parameter is an IFormatProvider implementation whose GetFormat method obtains a NumberFormatInfo object. The NumberFormatInfo object provides culture-specific information about the format of s. If provider is null, the NumberFormatInfo object for the current culture is used.

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.

Element	Description
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 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 Int16.Parse(String, NumberStyles, IFormatProvider) method.

The provider parameter is an IFormatProvider implementation that obtains a NumberFormatInfo object. The NumberFormatInfo provides culture-specific information about the format of s. If provider is null, the NumberFormatInfo for the current culture is used.

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.

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 the integer value's 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 Int16.Parse(String, NumberStyles) or the Parse method.

The s parameter is parsed using the formatting information in a NumberFormatInfo object that is 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 Int16.Parse(String, IFormatProvider) or the Int16.Parse(String, NumberStyles, IFormatProvider) method.

Remarks

The style parameter defines the style elements (such as white space or a sign symbol) that are allowed in the s parameter for the parse operation to succeed. It must be a combination of bit flags from the NumberStyles enumeration. Depending on the value of style, the s parameter may include the following elements:

[ws][$][sign][digits,]digits[.fractional_digits][e[sign]digits][ws]

Or, if style includes AllowHexSpecifier:

[ws]hexdigits[ws]

Items in square brackets ([ and ]) are optional. The following table describes each element.

Element	Description
ws	Optional white space. White space can appear at the beginning of `s` if `style` includes the NumberStyles.AllowLeadingWhite flag, or at the end of `s` if `style` includes the NumberStyles.AllowTrailingWhite flag.
$	A culture-specific currency symbol. Its position in the string is defined by the NumberFormatInfo.CurrencyPositivePattern and NumberFormatInfo.CurrencyNegativePattern property of the current culture. The current culture's currency symbol can appear in `s` if `style` includes the NumberStyles.AllowCurrencySymbol flag.
sign	An optional sign. The sign can appear at the beginning of `s` if `style` includes the NumberStyles.AllowLeadingSign flag, and it can appear at the end of `s` if `style` includes the NumberStyles.AllowTrailingSign flag. Parentheses can be used in `s` to indicate a negative value if `style` includes the NumberStyles.AllowParentheses flag.
digits	A sequence of digits from 0 through 9.
,	A culture-specific thousands separator symbol. The current culture's thousands separator symbol can appear in `s` if `style` includes the NumberStyles.AllowThousands flag.
.	A culture-specific decimal point symbol. The current culture's decimal point symbol can appear in `s` if `style` includes the NumberStyles.AllowDecimalPoint flag.
fractional_digits	A sequence of the 0 digit. Fractional digits can appear in `s` if `style` includes the NumberStyles.AllowDecimalPoint flag. If any digit other than 0 appears in fractional_digits, the method throws an OverflowException.
e	The 'e' or 'E' character, which indicates that `s` can be represented in exponential notation. The `s` parameter can represent a number in exponential notation if `style` includes the NumberStyles.AllowExponent flag. However, the `s` parameter must represent a number in the range of the Int16 data type and cannot have a non-zero fractional component.
hexdigits	A sequence of hexadecimal digits from 0 through f, or 0 through F.

Note

Any terminating NUL (U+0000) characters in s are ignored by the parsing operation, regardless of the value of the style argument.

Non-composite NumberStyles values	Elements permitted in s in addition to digits
NumberStyles.None	Decimal digits only.
NumberStyles.AllowDecimalPoint	The . and fractional_digits elements. However, fractional_digits must consist of only one or more 0 digits or an OverflowException is thrown.
NumberStyles.AllowExponent	The `s` parameter can also use exponential notation.
NumberStyles.AllowLeadingWhite	The ws element at the beginning of `s`.
NumberStyles.AllowTrailingWhite	The ws element at the end of `s`.
NumberStyles.AllowLeadingSign	A sign can appear before digits.
NumberStyles.AllowTrailingSign	A sign can appear after digits.
NumberStyles.AllowParentheses	The sign element in the form of parentheses enclosing the numeric value.
NumberStyles.AllowThousands	The , element.
NumberStyles.AllowCurrencySymbol	The $ element.

If the NumberStyles.AllowHexSpecifier flag is used, s must be the string representation of a hexadecimal value without a prefix. For example, "9AF3" parses successfully, but "0x9AF3" does not. The only other flags that can be present in style are NumberStyles.AllowLeadingWhite and NumberStyles.AllowTrailingWhite. (The NumberStyles enumeration has a composite number style, NumberStyles.HexNumber, that includes both white space flags.)

The s parameter is parsed using the formatting information in a NumberFormatInfo object that is initialized for the current system culture. For more information, see NumberFormatInfo.CurrentInfo. To parse s using the formatting information of a specific culture, call the Int16.Parse(String, NumberStyles, IFormatProvider) method.
