Namespace:   System
Assembly:  mscorlib (in mscorlib.dll)

Public Shared Function ToInt64 (
	value As Short
) As Long

Parameters

value
Type: System.Int16

The 16-bit signed integer to convert.

Return Value

Type: System.Int64

A 64-bit signed integer that is equivalent to value.

The following example converts each element in an array of 16-bit integers to a long integer.

Dim numbers() As Short = { Int16.MinValue, -1, 0, 121, 340, Int16.MaxValue }
Dim result As Long

For Each number As Short In numbers
   result = Convert.ToInt64(number)
   Console.WriteLine("Converted the {0} value {1} to the {2} value {3}.", _
                        number.GetType().Name, number, _
                        result.GetType().Name, result)
Next
' The example displays the following output:
'    Converted the Int16 value -32768 to the Int64 value -32768.
'    Converted the Int16 value -1 to the Int64 value -1.
'    Converted the Int16 value 0 to the Int64 value 0.
'    Converted the Int16 value 121 to the Int64 value 121.
'    Converted the Int16 value 340 to the Int64 value 340.
'    Converted the Int16 value 32767 to the Int64 value 32767.
