The following example uses the ToByte method to convert decimal numbers to Byte 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 { byte number = Decimal.ToByte(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 // 255.999 --> 255 // OverflowException: 256 // 127.999 --> 127 // 128 --> 128 // -0.999 --> 0 // OverflowException: -1 // OverflowException: -128.999 // OverflowException: -129
