title: Convert string to short
body: <p>I have a string that contains the next value: <code>0x6007.(stringToShort)</code>
  I want to convert this string to short var, however, when I attempt to convert it the next way:</p>
  
  <pre><code>short s = ((short)Convert.ToUInt16(stringToShort, 16));
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>then s equals to <code>24583</code> and not to <code>0x6007</code> as I need.</p>
  
  <p>Can anyone help?</p>
