- value
- An Object that implements the IConvertible interface.
- provider
- An IFormatProvider interface implementation that supplies culture-specific formatting information.
The 64-bit signed integer equivalent of value, or zero if value is a null reference ( Nothing in Visual Basic ).
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, it is honored if value is a user-defined type that implements the IConvertible interface.
