The text to convert.

Return Value

Type: System::Boolean

true if the conversion is successful; otherwise, false.

The Convert(String^, ValidationDataType, Boolean, Object^%) method is used to convert text into an object of the specified data type. Although the method returns true or false to indicate whether the conversion was successful, the converted value is stored in the valueout parameter.

System_CAPS_noteNote

If the conversion is unsuccessful, the value parameter is set to null.

To indicate that values should be converted using a culture-neutral format, pass in true for the cultureInvariant parameter; otherwise, values are converted using the format used by the current culture. When converting a value using the format used by the current culture, consider using the BaseCompareValidator::Convert(String^, ValidationDataType, Object^%) overloaded version of this method.
