What is the .NET equivalent of Java's NumberFormatException?

Question

Is FormatException in .NET the equivalent of NumberFormatException in Java ?

Answer 1

I think yes both are same following are the details given about both Exception

NumberFormatException (java) : -Thrown to indicate that the application has attempted to convert a string to one of the numeric types, but that the string does not have the appropriate format.

FormatException (.net) : - FormatException is thrown when the format of an argument in a method invocation does not match the format of the corresponding formal parameter type. For example, if a method specifies a String parameter consisting of two digits with an embedded period, passing a corresponding string argument containing only two digits to that method would cause FormatException to be thrown.

FormatException uses the HRESULT COR_E_FORMAT, which has the value 0x80131537.

Answer 2

Yes. Methods like Double.Parse throw a FormatException if the string to be converted does not represent a number in a valid format.

Answer 3

Yes, FormatException is thrown when you try to parse a number from a string with an invalid format (actually it's limited to numbers).
