- value
- Single
The single-precision floating-point number to convert.
Returns
value, rounded to the nearest 64-bit signed integer. If value is halfway between two whole numbers, the even number is returned; that is, 4.5 is converted to 4, and 5.5 is converted to 6.
Exceptions
value is greater than Int64.MaxValue or less than Int64.MinValue.

Converts the string representation of a number in a specified base to an equivalent 64-bit signed integer.
public:
static long ToInt64(System::String ^ value, int fromBase);public static long ToInt64 (string value, int fromBase);public static long ToInt64 (string? value, int fromBase);static member ToInt64 : string * int -> int64Public Shared Function ToInt64 (value As String, fromBase As Integer) As LongParameters
- value
- String
A string that contains the number to convert.
- fromBase
- Int32
The base of the number in value, which must be 2, 8, 10, or 16.
Returns
A 64-bit signed integer that is equivalent to the number in value, or 0 (zero) if value is null.
Exceptions
fromBase is not 2, 8, 10, or 16.
-or-
value, which represents a non-base 10 signed number, is prefixed with a negative sign.
value is Empty.
value contains a character that is not a valid digit in the base specified by fromBase. The exception message indicates that there are no digits to convert if the first character in value is invalid; otherwise, the message indicates that value contains invalid trailing characters.
value, which represents a non-base 10 signed number, is prefixed with a negative sign.
-or-
value represents a number that is less than Int64.MinValue or greater than Int64.MaxValue.
Remarks
If fromBase is 16, you can prefix the number specified by the value parameter with "0x" or "0X".
Because the negative sign is not supported for non-base 10 numeric representations, the ToInt64(String, Int32) method assumes that negative numbers use two's complement representation. In other words, the method always interprets the highest-order binary bit of a long integer (bit 63) as its sign bit. As a result, it is possible to write code in which a non-base 10 number that is out of the range of the Int64 data type is converted to an Int64 value without the method throwing an exception. The following example converts MaxValue to its hexadecimal string representation, and then calls the ToInt64(String, Int32) method. Instead of throwing an exception, the method displays the message, "0xFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF converts to -1."
// Create a hexadecimal value out of range of the long type.
string value = ulong.MaxValue.ToString("X");
// Use Convert.ToInt64 to convert it back to a number.
try
{
long number = Convert.ToInt64(value, 16);
Console.WriteLine("0x{0} converts to {1}.", value, number);
}
catch (OverflowException)
{
Console.WriteLine("Unable to convert '0x{0}' to a long integer.", value);
}
// Create a hexadecimal value out of range of the long type.
let value = UInt64.MaxValue.ToString "X"
// Use Convert.ToInt64 to convert it back to a number.
try
let number = Convert.ToInt64(value, 16)
printfn $"0x{value} converts to {number}."
with :? OverflowException ->
printfn $"Unable to convert '0x{value}' to a long integer."
' Create a hexadecimal value out of range of the Long type.
Dim value As String = ULong.MaxValue.ToString("X")
' Call Convert.ToInt64 to convert it back to a number.

When performing binary operations or numeric conversions, it is always the responsibility of the developer to verify that a method is using the appropriate numeric representation to interpret a particular value. As the following example illustrates, you can ensure that the method handles overflows appropriately by first determining whether a value represents an unsigned or a signed type when converting it to its hexadecimal string representation. Throw an exception if the original value was an unsigned type but the conversion back to an integer yields a value whose sign bit is on.
// Create a negative hexadecimal value out of range of the Byte type.
ulong sourceNumber = ulong.MaxValue;
bool isSigned = Math.Sign(Convert.ToDouble(sourceNumber.GetType().GetField("MinValue").GetValue(null))) == -1;
string value = sourceNumber.ToString("X");
long targetNumber;
try
{
targetNumber = Convert.ToInt64(value, 16);
if (! isSigned && ((targetNumber & 0x80000000) != 0))
throw new OverflowException();
else
Console.WriteLine("0x{0} converts to {1}.", value, targetNumber);
}
catch (OverflowException)

let value = sourceNumber.ToString "X"
try

Remarks
The return value is the result of invoking the Int64.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 Int64.TryParse method instead. It returns a Boolean value that indicates whether the conversion succeeded or failed.

ToInt64(Object, IFormatProvider)
- Source:

- value
- Object
An object that implements the IConvertible interface.
- provider
- IFormatProvider
An object that supplies culture-specific formatting information.
Returns
A 64-bit signed integer that is equivalent to value, or zero if value is null.
Exceptions
value is not in an appropriate format.
value represents a number that is less than Int64.MinValue or greater than Int64.MaxValue.

An object of each class is passed to the ToInt64 method. This method returns an average of the array of Double values, using the object that implements IFormatProvider to determine how to calculate the average.

Remarks
The return value is the result of invoking the IConvertible.ToInt64 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.

Remarks
Using the ToInt64(String) method is equivalent to passing value to the Int64.Parse(String) method. value is interpreted by using the formatting conventions of the current culture.
If you prefer not to handle an exception if the conversion fails, you can call the Int64.TryParse method instead. It returns a Boolean value that indicates whether the conversion succeeded or failed.

Converts the value of the specified 32-bit signed integer to an equivalent 64-bit signed integer.
public:
static long ToInt64(int value);public static long ToInt64 (int value);static member ToInt64 : int -> int64Public Shared Function ToInt64 (value As Integer) As LongParameters
- value
- Int32
The 32-bit signed integer to convert.
Returns
A 64-bit signed integer that is equivalent to value.
Applies to
ToInt64(Decimal)
- Source:
- Convert.cs
- Source:
- Convert.cs
- Source:
- Convert.cs
Converts the value of the specified decimal number to an equivalent 64-bit signed integer.
public:
static long ToInt64(System::Decimal value);public static long ToInt64 (decimal value);static member ToInt64 : decimal -> int64Public Shared Function ToInt64 (value As Decimal) As LongParameters
- value
- Decimal
The decimal number to convert.
Returns
value, rounded to the nearest 64-bit signed integer. If value is halfway between two whole numbers, the even number is returned; that is, 4.5 is converted to 4, and 5.5 is converted to 6.
Exceptions
value is greater than Int64.MaxValue or less than Int64.MinValue.
