The following example uses the ToSByte method to convert decimal numbers to SByte values.
using System; class Example { public static void Main( ) { decimal[] values = { 123m, new Decimal(78000, 0, 0, false, 3), 78.999m, 255.999m, 256m, 127.999m, 128m, -0.999m, -1m, -128.999m, -129m }; foreach (var value in values) { try { sbyte number = Decimal.ToSByte(value); Console.WriteLine("{0} --> {1}", value, number); } catch (OverflowException e) { Console.WriteLine("{0}: {1}", e.GetType().Name, value); } } } } // The example displays the following output: // 78 --> 78 // 78.000 --> 78 // 78.999 --> 78 // OverflowException: 255.999 // OverflowException: 256 // 127.999 --> 127 // OverflowException: 128 // -0.999 --> 0 // -1 --> -1 // -128.999 --> -128 // OverflowException: -129
