[ VB ]
Overloads Public Shared Function ToChar ( _
   ByVal value As Object, _
   ByVal provider As IFormatProvider _
) As Char

[ C# ]
public static char ToChar (
   object value,
   IFormatProvider provider
);

[ C++ ]
public: static __wchar_t ToChar (
   Object* value,
   IFormatProvider* provider
);

[ JScript ]
public static function ToChar (
   value : Object,

) : Char;

value

An Object that implements the IConvertible interface.

provider

An IFormatProvider interface implementation that supplies culture-specific formatting information.

The Unicode character equivalent of value.

-or-

Char.MinValue if value equals a null reference ( Nothing in Visual Basic ).

Exception Type	Condition
InvalidCastException	value does not implement the IConvertible interface.

The return value is the result of invoking the IConvertible.ToChar 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, it is honored if value is a user-defined type that implements the IConvertible interface.
