Parameters
- value
Type: System.Object
An Object that implements the IConvertible interface.
- provider
Type: System.IFormatProvider
An IFormatProvider interface implementation that supplies culture-specific formatting information.
Return Value
Type: System.SByte
An 8-bit signed integer equivalent to the value of value, or zero if value is nulla null reference (Nothing in Visual Basic).
Remarks
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.
