Converting arg from string to ulong?

Code:

        [ChatCommand("npctp_add")]
        void cmdNpcAdD(BasePlayer player, ulong args)
        {
       
        var n = npcData.NpcTP;
        double timeStamp = GrabCurrentTime();
        ulong ID2 = player.userID;
       
       
            if (!n.ContainsKey(ID2))
                n.Add(ID2, new NPCInfo((long)timeStamp));
                SaveNpcTpData();
            }             

what is the correct way to change the args to ulong in ulong ID2 = args? im lost for a few hours on this.

 

Code:

        [ChatCommand("npctp_add")]
        void cmdNpcAdD(BasePlayer player, string command, string[] args)
        {
       
        var n = npcData.NpcTP;
        string ID2 = "";
        ID2 = Convert.ToUInt32(args);
        double timeStamp = GrabCurrentTime();
       
       
            if (!n.ContainsKey(ID2))
                n.Add(ID2, new NPCInfo((long)timeStamp));
                SaveNpcTpData();
            }    

im just not reading something right i have also tried ID2 = ((ulong)args);

 

Code:

        [ChatCommand("npctp_add")]
        void cmdNpcAdD(BasePlayer player, string command, string[] args)
        {
       
        var n = npcData.NpcTP;
        string IDNPC = "";
       
        double timeStamp = GrabCurrentTime();
        IDNPC = string.Join(" ", args);
        ulong IDNPC1 = Convert.ToUInt64(IDNPC);
       
            if (!n.ContainsKey(IDNPC1))
                n.Add(IDNPC1, new NPCInfo((long)timeStamp));
                SaveNpcTpData();
            }
