Convert::ToUInt64 Method (Object, IFormatProvider)
Converts the value of the specified object to a 64-bit unsigned integer, using the specified culture-specific formatting information.
Assembly: mscorlib (in mscorlib.dll)
[CLSCompliantAttribute(false)] public: static unsigned long long ToUInt64( Object^ value, IFormatProvider^ provider )
Parameters
- value
- Type: System::Object
An object that implements the IConvertible interface.
- 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 value, or zero if value is nullptr.
| Exception | Condition |
|---|---|
| FormatException | value is not in an appropriate format. |
| InvalidCastException | value does not implement the IConvertible interface. -or- The conversion is not supported. |
| OverflowException | value represents a number that is less than UInt64::MinValue or greater than UInt64::MaxValue. |
The return value is the result of invoking the IConvertible::ToUInt64 method of the underlying type of value.
provider enables the user to specify culture-specific conversion information about the contents of value. For example, if value is a String that represents a number, provider could supply culture-specific information about the notation used to represent that number.
The base types ignore provider; however, the parameter may be used if value is a user-defined type that implements the IConvertible interface.
The following example defines a HexString class that implements the IConvertible interface and that is designed to hold the string representation of both 64-bit signed and 64-bit unsigned values. The class includes a Sign property that indicates the sign of its hexadecimal value.
The following example shows that a call to the ToUInt64(Object, IFormatProvider) method that passes a HexString object as a parameter, in turn, calls the IConvertible::ToUInt64 implementation of the HexString class.
