value is less than Byte.MinValue or greater than Byte.MaxValue. |
The following code example converts Decimal numbers to Byte values using the ToByte method.
// Example of the decimal.ToSByte and decimal.ToByte methods. using System; class DecimalToS_ByteDemo { const string formatter = "{0,16}{1,19}{2,19}"; // Get the exception type name; remove the namespace prefix. public static string GetExceptionType( Exception ex ) { string exceptionType = ex.GetType( ).ToString( ); return exceptionType.Substring( exceptionType.LastIndexOf( '.' ) + 1 ); } // Convert the decimal argument; catch exceptions that are thrown. public static void DecimalToS_Byte( decimal argument ) { object SByteValue; object ByteValue; // Convert the argument to an sbyte value. try { SByteValue = decimal.ToSByte( argument ); } catch( Exception ex ) { SByteValue = GetExceptionType( ex ); } // Convert the argument to a byte value. try { ByteValue = decimal.ToByte( argument ); } catch( Exception ex ) { ByteValue = GetExceptionType( ex ); } Console.WriteLine( formatter, argument, SByteValue, ByteValue ); } public static void Main( ) { Console.WriteLine( "This example of the \n" + " decimal.ToSByte( decimal ) and \n" + " decimal.ToByte( decimal ) \nmethods " + "generates the following output.
