First: The string you have is not representing an integer, so you have
to go through a string to double step first.
Secondly: Converting a string to a double is language dependent, - in
German, Norwegian and French as an example the expected decimal
separator is a comma ',', instead of a period (.).
If you know that the string always is using '.' as decimal point you
should parse it by using CultureInfo.Inv ariantCulture to avoid a crash
if running on a German OS.
Int64 value = Convert.ToInt64 (Convert.ToDoub le(a,
System.Globaliz ation.CultureIn fo.InvariantCul ture));

I'm curious as to what will happen if you try converting this on a German
locale as it is a number in standard form and and wonder if it is an
exception or not. Could you try?

You can try it yourself just specifying a german culture as second
argument.

It's official....Convert blows.
I ran a number of tests converting a double to an integer usingboth Convert & CType. I *ASSUMED* that CType would piggy-back ontop of Convert, and that performance would be identical.
I was 100% incorrect.
The code below produces the results:
CType Took: 0.2187528 seconds.
Convert Took: 12.187656 seconds.

I have a situation where I want to filter records for a given day. The
field that stores the date/time uses the date() function as a default value,
kind of a date/time stamp for the record.
The problem is when I want to filter records for a given day instead of a
date range. I use the CONVERT function to return just the date part of the
field (101 as a style parameter) and compare that to a start and stop date
(both being the same) and...

Hello folks,
I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed.
This is as boiled down as I can make it.
Here is my compilation command:
