Parameters

value

The value to be tested.

The value of this parameter can be null (Nothing in Visual Basic).

Return Value

External value is a CLS-compliant value used e.g. when accessing the publisher ID over $(typeUrl. It is System.Byte, System.Int32, System.Int64, System.Decimal, System.String, or null.

null is considered a valid external value.

A zero number or an empty string are invalid external values.

This method uses strict validation (equivalent to calling the overload with relaxed parameter set to false).

This method is pure, i.e. it does not have observable side effects.
