[ JScript ]
public static function ToUInt64 (
   value : String,
   provider : IFormatProvider
) : UInt64;

value

A String containing a number to convert.

provider

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

The 64-bit unsigned integer equivalent of value.

Exception Type	Condition
ArgumentException	value is a null reference ( Nothing in Visual Basic ).
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.

The return value is the result of invoking UInt64.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 a null reference ( Nothing in Visual Basic ), the NumberFormatInfo for the current culture is used.
