Attributes

Exceptions

The s parameter is null.

style is not a NumberStyles value.

-or-

style is not a combination of AllowHexSpecifier and HexNumber values.

The s parameter is not in a format compliant with style.

The s parameter represents a number less than UInt64.MinValue or greater than UInt64.MaxValue.

-or-

s includes non-zero, fractional digits.

Remarks

The style parameter defines the style elements (such as white space or the positive or negative 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[.fractional_digits][E[sign]exponential_digits][ws]

Elements in square brackets ([ and ]) are optional. If style includes NumberStyles.AllowHexSpecifier, the s parameter may include the following elements:

[ws]hexdigits[ws]

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, and it can appear 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 CurrencyPositivePattern property of the NumberFormatInfo object that is returned by the GetFormat method of the provider parameter. The currency symbol can appear in s if style includes the NumberStyles.AllowCurrencySymbol flag.
sign An optional sign. (The method throws an OverflowException if s includes a negative sign and represents a non-zero number.) The sign can appear at the beginning of s if style includes the NumberStyles.AllowLeadingSign flag, and it can appear 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 decimal point symbol. The current culture's decimal point symbol can appear in s if style includes the NumberStyles.AllowDecimalPoint flag.
fractional_digits One or more occurrences of the digit 0-9 if style includes the NumberStyles.AllowExponent flag, or one or more occurrences of the digit 0 if it does not. Fractional digits can appear in s only if style includes the NumberStyles.AllowDecimalPoint flag.
E The "e" or "E" character, which indicates that the value is represented in exponential (scientific) notation. The s parameter can represent a number in exponential notation if style includes the NumberStyles.AllowExponent flag.
exponential_digits A sequence of digits from 0 through 9. The s parameter can represent a number in exponential notation if style includes the NumberStyles.AllowExponent flag.
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 decimal digits only (which corresponds to the NumberStyles.None style) always parses successfully. Most of the remaining NumberStyles members control elements that may be present, 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 decimal point (.) and fractional_digits elements. However, if style does not include the NumberStyles.AllowExponent flag, fractional_digits must consist of only one or more 0 digits; otherwise, an OverflowException is thrown.
NumberStyles.AllowExponent The "e" or "E" character, which indicates exponential notation, along with exponential_digits.
NumberStyles.AllowLeadingWhite The ws element at the beginning of s.
NumberStyles.AllowTrailingWhite The ws element at the end of s.
NumberStyles.AllowLeadingSign A sign before digits.
NumberStyles.AllowTrailingSign A sign after digits.
NumberStyles.AllowParentheses Parentheses before and after digits to indicate a negative value.
NumberStyles.AllowThousands The group separator (,) element.
NumberStyles.AllowCurrencySymbol The currency ($) element.

If the NumberStyles.AllowHexSpecifier flag is used, s must be a hexadecimal value. Valid hexadecimal characters are 0-9, A-F, and a-f. A prefix such as "0x" is not supported and causes the parse operation to fail. The only other flags that can be combined with it are NumberStyles.AllowLeadingWhite and NumberStyles.AllowTrailingWhite. (The NumberStyles enumeration includes a composite number style, NumberStyles.HexNumber, that includes both white-space flags.)

Note

If the s parameter is the string representation of a hexadecimal number, it cannot be preceded by any decoration (such as 0x or &h) that differentiates it as a hexadecimal number. This causes the parse operation to throw an exception.

The provider parameter is an IFormatProvider implementation whose GetFormat method returns a NumberFormatInfo object that provides culture-specific information about the format of s. There are three ways to use the provider parameter to supply custom formatting information to the parse operation:

  • You can pass the actual NumberFormatInfo object that provides formatting information. (Its implementation of GetFormat simply returns itself.)

  • You can pass a CultureInfo object that specifies the culture whose formatting is to be used. Its NumberFormat property provides formatting information.

  • You can pass a custom IFormatProvider implementation. Its GetFormat method must instantiate and return the NumberFormatInfo object that provides formatting information.

If provider is null, the NumberFormatInfo object for the current culture is used.

Examples

The following example is the button click event handler of a Web form. It uses the array returned by the HttpRequest.UserLanguages property to determine the user's locale. It then instantiates a CultureInfo object that corresponds to that locale. The NumberFormatInfo object that belongs to that CultureInfo object is then passed to the Parse(String, IFormatProvider) method to convert the user's input to a UInt64 value.

protected void OkToSingle_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
    string locale;
    float number;

Remarks

This overload of the Parse(String, IFormatProvider) method is typically used to convert text that can be formatted in a variety of ways to a UInt64 value. For example, it can be used to convert the text entered by a user into an HTML text box to a numeric value.

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 positive sign, or a negative sign if s represents the value zero.
digits A sequence of digits ranging from 0 to 9.

The s parameter is interpreted using the NumberStyles.Integer style. In addition to the unsigned integer value's decimal digits, only leading and trailing spaces along with a leading sign is allowed. (If the negative sign is present, s must represent a value of zero, 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 Parse(String, NumberStyles, IFormatProvider) method.

The provider parameter is an IFormatProvider implementation whose GetFormat method returns a NumberFormatInfo object that provides culture-specific information about the format of s. There are three ways to use the provider parameter to supply custom formatting information to the parse operation:

  • You can pass the actual NumberFormatInfo object that provides formatting information. (Its implementation of GetFormat simply returns itself.)

  • You can pass a CultureInfo object that specifies the culture whose formatting is to be used. Its NumberFormat property provides formatting information.

  • You can pass a custom IFormatProvider implementation. Its GetFormat method must instantiate and return the NumberFormatInfo object that provides formatting information.

If provider is null, the NumberFormatInfo for the current culture is used.

Remarks

The s parameter should be the string representation of a number in the following 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. Valid sign characters are determined by the NumberFormatInfo.NegativeSign and NumberFormatInfo.PositiveSign properties of the current culture. However, the negative sign symbol can be used only with zero; otherwise, the method throws an OverflowException.
digits A sequence of digits ranging from 0 to 9. Any leading zeros are ignored.

Note

The string specified by the s parameter is interpreted by using the NumberStyles.Integer style. It cannot contain any group separators or decimal separator, and it cannot have a decimal portion.

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

Remarks

The style parameter defines the style elements (such as white space, the positive or negative sign symbol, the group separator symbol, or the decimal point symbol) that are allowed in the s parameter for the parse operation to succeed. style must be a combination of bit flags from the NumberStyles enumeration. The style parameter makes this method overload useful when s contains the string representation of a hexadecimal value, when the number system (decimal or hexadecimal) represented by s is known only at run time, or when you want to disallow white space or a sign symbol in s.

Depending on the value of style, the s parameter may include the following elements:

[ws][$][sign][digits,]digits[.fractional_digits][E[sign]exponential_digits][ws]

Elements in square brackets ([ and ]) are optional. If style includes NumberStyles.AllowHexSpecifier, the s parameter may contain the following elements:

[ws]hexdigits[ws]

The following table describes each element.

Element Description
ws Optional white space. White space can appear at the start of s if style includes the NumberStyles.AllowLeadingWhite flag, and it can appear 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.CurrencyNegativePattern and NumberFormatInfo.CurrencyPositivePattern properties 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 start 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. However, the negative sign symbol can be used only with zero; otherwise, the method throws an OverflowException.
digits

fractional_digits

exponential_digits
A sequence of digits from 0 through 9. For fractional_digits, only the digit 0 is valid.
, A culture-specific group separator symbol. The current culture's group separator 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. Only the digit 0 can appear as a fractional digit for the parse operation to succeed; if fractional_digits includes any other digit, a FormatException is thrown.
E The "e" or "E" character, which indicates that the value is represented in exponential (scientific) notation. The s parameter can represent a number in exponential notation if style includes the NumberStyles.AllowExponent flag.
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 if it is in the range of the UInt64 type. Most of the remaining NumberStyles members control elements that may be present, but are not required to be present, in the input string. The following table indicates how individual NumberStyles members affect the elements that may be present in s.

NumberStyles value Elements permitted in s in addition to digits
None The digits element only.
AllowDecimalPoint The decimal point (.) and fractional-digits elements.
AllowExponent The "e" or "E" character, which indicates exponential notation, along with exponential_digits.
AllowLeadingWhite The ws element at the start of s.
AllowTrailingWhite The ws element at the end of s.
AllowLeadingSign The sign element at the start of s.
AllowTrailingSign The sign element at the end of s.
AllowParentheses The sign element in the form of parentheses enclosing the numeric value.
AllowThousands The group separator (,) element.
AllowCurrencySymbol The currency ($) element.
Currency All elements. However, s cannot represent a hexadecimal number or a number in exponential notation.
Float The ws element at the start or end of s, sign at the start of s, and the decimal point (.) symbol. The s parameter can also use exponential notation.
Number The ws, sign, group separator (,), and decimal point (.) elements.
Any All elements. However, s cannot represent a hexadecimal number.

Unlike the other NumberStyles values, which allow for, but do not require, the presence of particular style elements in s, the NumberStyles.AllowHexSpecifier style value means that the individual numeric characters in s are always interpreted as hexadecimal characters. Valid hexadecimal characters are 0-9, A-F, and a-f. A prefix such as "0x" is not supported and causes the parse operation to fail. The only other flags that can be combined with the style parameter are NumberStyles.AllowLeadingWhite and NumberStyles.AllowTrailingWhite. (The NumberStyles enumeration includes a composite number style, NumberStyles.HexNumber, that includes both white-space flags.)

Note

If s is the string representation of a hexadecimal number, it cannot be preceded by any decoration (such as 0x or &h) that differentiates it as a hexadecimal number. This causes the conversion to fail.

The s parameter is parsed by using the formatting information in a NumberFormatInfo object that is initialized for the current system culture. To specify the culture whose formatting information is used for the parse operation, call the Parse(String, NumberStyles, IFormatProvider) overload.
