Convert::ToUInt32 Method (String)

Converts the specified string representation of a number to an equivalent 32-bit unsigned integer.

This API is not CLS-compliant. 

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

[CLSCompliantAttribute(false)]
public:
static unsigned int ToUInt32(
	String^ value
)

Parameters

value
Type: System::String
A string that contains the number to convert.

Return Value

Type: System::UInt32
A 32-bit unsigned integer that is equivalent to the number in value, or 0 (zero) if value is nullptr.

ExceptionCondition
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 UInt32::MinValue or greater than UInt32::MaxValue.

Using the ToUInt32 method is equivalent to passing value to the UInt32::Parse(String) method. value is interpreted by using the formatting conventions of the current thread culture.

If you prefer not to handle an exception if the conversion fails, you can call the UInt32::TryParse method instead. It returns a Boolean value that indicates whether the conversion succeeded or failed.

The following example interprets the elements in a string array as numeric strings and attempts to convert them to unsigned integers.
