Convert::ToDouble Method (String^, IFormatProvider^)
Converts the specified string representation of a number to an equivalent double-precision floating-point number, using the specified culture-specific formatting information.
Assembly: mscorlib (in mscorlib.dll)
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::DoubleA double-precision floating-point number that is equivalent to the number in value, or 0 (zero) if value is null.
| Exception | Condition |
|---|---|
| FormatException | value is not a number in a valid format. |
| OverflowException | value represents a number that is less than Double::MinValue or greater than Double::MaxValue. |
The return value is the result of invoking the Double::Parse method on value.
provider is an IFormatProvider instance that obtains a NumberFormatInfo object. The NumberFormatInfo object provides culture-specific information about the format of value. If provider is null, the NumberFormatInfo for the current culture is used.
If you prefer not to handle an exception if the conversion fails, you can call the Double::TryParse method instead. It returns a Boolean value that indicates whether the conversion succeeded or failed.
The following example converts string representations of Double values with the ToDouble method, using an IFormatProvider object.
