Byte.Parse Method (String, NumberStyles, IFormatProvider)

Parameters

• s
  Type: System.String
  A string containing a number to convert. The string is interpreted using the style specified by style.

• style
  Type: System.Globalization.NumberStyles
  A bitwise combination of NumberStyles values that indicates the style elements that can be present in s. A typical value to specify is NumberStyles.Integer.

• provider
  Type: System.IFormatProvider
  An IFormatProvider object that supplies culture-specific information about the format of s. If provider is nulla null reference (Nothing in Visual Basic), the thread current culture is used.

Return Value

Type: System.Byte
The Byte value equivalent to the number contained in s.
