- culture

Type:
System.Globalization::CultureInfo^
An object that contains culture specific information, such as the language, calendar, and cultural conventions associated with a specific culture. It is based on the RFC 1766 standard.
- value

System::Object^
The object to convert.
- destinationType
-
Type:
System::Type^
The type to convert the object to.
| Exception | Condition |
|---|---|
| NotSupportedException | The conversion cannot be completed. |
The most common types to convert are to and from a string object. The default implementation calls the object's ToString method if the object is valid and if the destination type is string. If this method cannot convert to the destination type, this will throw a NotSupportedException exception.
