Object - ToSByte

An object extension method that converts the @this to the s byte.

Try it

public static void Main()
{
    object[] values = { true, -12, 163, 935, 'x', "104", "103.0", "-1",
            "1.00e2", "One", 1.00e2};
    sbyte result;

    foreach (object value in values)
    {
        try
        {
			// C# Extension Method: Object - ToSByte
            result = value.ToSByte();
            Console.WriteLine("Converted the {0} value {1} to the {2} value {3}.",
                              value.GetType().Name, value,
                              result.GetType().Name, result);
        }
        catch (OverflowException)
        {
            Console.WriteLine("The {0} value {1} is outside the range of the SByte type.",
                              value.GetType().Name, value);
        }
        catch (FormatException)
        {
            Console.WriteLine("The {0} value {1} is not in a recognizable format.",
                              value.GetType().Name, value);
        }
        catch (InvalidCastException)
        {
            Console.WriteLine("No conversion to a Byte exists for the {0} value {1}.",
                              value.GetType().Name, value);

        }
    }
}
