Parse(ReadOnlySpan<Char>)
- Source:
- Version.cs

- Version.cs
- Source:

Converts the specified read-only span of characters that represents a version number to an equivalent Version object.
public:
static Version ^ Parse(ReadOnlySpan<char> input);
public static Version Parse (ReadOnlySpan<char> input);
static member Parse : ReadOnlySpan<char> -> Version
Public Shared Function Parse (input As ReadOnlySpan(Of Char)) As Version
Parameters
- input
- ReadOnlySpan<Char>
A read-only span of characters that contains a version number to convert.
Returns
An object that is equivalent to the version number specified in the input
parameter.
Exceptions
input
has fewer than two or more than four version components.
At least one component in input
is less than zero.
At least one component in input
is not an integer.
At least one component in input
represents a number that is greater than Int32.MaxValue.
Remarks
The input
parameter must have the following format:
major.minor[.build[.revision]]
where major
, minor
, build
, and revision
are the string representations of the version number's four components: major version number, minor version number, build number, and revision number, respectively. Optional components are shown in square brackets ([ and ]). The components must appear in the specified order and must be separated by periods.

Remarks
The input
parameter must have the following format:
major.minor[.build[.revision]]
where major
, minor
, build
, and revision
are the string representations of the version number's four components: major version number, minor version number, build number, and revision number, respectively. Optional components are shown in square brackets ([ and ]). The components must appear in the specified order and must be separated by periods.
Important
Because the string representation of a version number must conform to a recognized pattern, applications should always use exception handling when calling the Parse method to parse user input. Alternatively, you can call the TryParse method to parse the string representation of a version number and return a value that indicates whether the parse operation succeeded.
The Parse method is a convenience method; it is equivalent to calling the Version(String) constructor.
