Convert.ToUInt64 Method (Single)
Converts the value of the specified single-precision floating-point number to an equivalent 64-bit unsigned integer.
This API is not CLS-compliant. Namespace: System
Assembly: mscorlib (in mscorlib.dll)
Parameters
- value
- Type: System.Single
The single-precision floating-point number to convert.
Return Value
Type: System.UInt64value, rounded to the nearest 64-bit unsigned integer. If value is halfway between two whole numbers, the even number is returned; that is, 4.5 is converted to 4, and 5.5 is converted to 6.
| Exception | Condition |
|---|---|
| OverflowException | value is less than zero or greater than UInt64.MaxValue. |
The following example attempts to convert each element in an array of Single values to an unsigned long integer. The output shows that fractional values are rounded before the conversion is performed.
float[] values= { Single.MinValue, -1.38e10f, -1023.299f, -12.98f, 0f, 9.113e-16f, 103.919f, 17834.191f, Single.MaxValue }; ulong result; foreach (float value in values) { try { result = Convert.ToUInt64(value); Console.WriteLine("Converted the {0} value {1} to the {2} value {3}.", value.GetType().Name, value, result.GetType().Name, result); } catch (OverflowException) { Console.WriteLine("{0} is outside the range of the UInt64 type.", value); } } // The example displays the following output: // -3.402823E+38 is outside the range of the UInt64 type. // -1.38E+10 is outside the range of the UInt64 type. // -1023.299 is outside the range of the UInt64 type. // -12.98 is outside the range of the UInt64 type. // Converted the Single value 0 to the UInt64 value 0. // Converted the Single value 9.113E-16 to the UInt64 value 0. // Converted the Single value 103.919 to the UInt64 value 104. // Converted the Single value 17834.19 to the UInt64 value 17834. // 3.402823E+38 is outside the range of the UInt64 type.
