Remarks
This overload of the Parse(String, IFormatProvider) method is typically used to convert text that can be formatted in a variety of ways to an Int64 value. For example, it can be used to convert the text entered by a user into an HTML text box to a numeric value.
The s parameter contains a number of the form:
[ws][sign]digits[ws]
Elements in square brackets ([ and ]) are optional. The following table describes each element.
Element |
Description |
|---|---|
ws |
An optional white space. |
sign |
An optional sign. |
digits |
A sequence of digits ranging from 0 to 9. |
The provider parameter is an IFormatProvider that obtains a NumberFormatInfo object. The NumberFormatInfo provides culture-specific information about the format of s. If provider is nulla null reference (Nothing in Visual Basic), the NumberFormatInfo for the current culture is used.
