Converts the Value to a double data type
Syntax
'Declaration
 
Public Overloads Function ToDouble( _
   ByRef result As Double _
) As Boolean
public bool ToDouble( 
   out double result
)

Parameters

result
The resulting double value. If the return value is false, the result is 0.

Return Value

True if the value was successfully converted to a double; otherwise false.
Example
Following code demonstrates the usage of FormatValue and ParseValue events.
