Convert::ToUInt64 Method (String^, IFormatProvider^)
Converts the specified string representation of a number to an equivalent 64-bit unsigned integer, using the specified culture-specific formatting information.
This API is not CLS-compliant.
Assembly: mscorlib (in mscorlib.dll)
public: [CLSCompliantAttribute(false)] static unsigned long long ToUInt64( String^ value, IFormatProvider^ provider )
Parameters
- value
-
Type:
System::String^
A string that contains the number to convert.
- provider
-
Type:
System::IFormatProvider^
An object that supplies culture-specific formatting information.
Return Value
Type: System::UInt64A 64-bit unsigned integer that is equivalent to the number in value, or 0 (zero) if value is null.
| Exception | Condition |
|---|---|
| FormatException | value does not consist of an optional sign followed by a sequence of digits (0 through 9). |
| OverflowException | value represents a number that is less than UInt64::MinValue or greater than UInt64::MaxValue. |
The return value is the result of invoking UInt64::Parse on value.
provider is an IFormatProvider implementation that obtains a NumberFormatInfo object. The NumberFormatInfo object provides culture-specific information about the format of value. If provider is null, the NumberFormatInfo object for the current culture is used.
If you prefer not to handle an exception if the conversion fails, you can call the UInt64::TryParse method instead. It returns a Boolean value that indicates whether the conversion succeeded or failed.
The following example defines a custom NumberFormatInfo object that recognizes the string "pos" as the positive sign and the string "neg" as the negative sign. It then attempts to convert each element of a numeric string array to an unsigned long integer. The conversion uses both the custom provider and the NumberFormatInfo provider for the invariant culture.
