Convert.ToUInt32 Method (String, IFormatProvider)

Microsoft Silverlight will reach end of support after October 2021. Learn more.

Converts the specified String representation of a number to an equivalent 32-bit unsigned integer using the specified culture-specific formatting information.

This API is not CLS-compliant. 

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

Syntax

'Declaration
<CLSCompliantAttribute(False)> _
Public Shared Function ToUInt32 ( _
    value As String, _
    provider As IFormatProvider _
) As UInteger
[CLSCompliantAttribute(false)]
public static uint ToUInt32(
    string value,
    IFormatProvider provider
)

Parameters

Return Value

Type: System.UInt32
A 32-bit unsigned integer equivalent to the value of value.
-or-
Zero if value is nulla null reference (Nothing in Visual Basic).

Exceptions

Exception Condition
FormatException

value does not consist of an optional sign followed by a sequence of digits (zero through nine).

OverflowException

value represents a number less than MinValue or greater than MaxValue.

Remarks

The return value is the result of invoking UInt32.Parse 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 nulla null reference (Nothing in Visual Basic), the NumberFormatInfo for the current culture is used.

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.

Examples

The following code example converts String representations of 32-bit unsigned integers with the ToUInt32 method, using an IFormatProvider object.
