Convert.ToInt16 ("stringVar")

short.Parse("stringVar")

what is more aproppiate for performance and memory space use

thnks

Convert.ToInt16(String) simply performs a null check and calls short.Parse(String, IFormatProvider) with CultureInfo.CurrentCulture as the IFormatProvider argument.

Convert.ToInt16(String) will not let you override the culture of the current thread; if you may need to do that I recommend using short.Prase(String, IFormatProvider) directly.

Ok thnks guys so I can assume that short.parse in more faster in the case I dont use any aditional parameter.
