Console.WriteLine Method (Decimal)

Writes the text representation of the specified Decimal value, followed by the current line terminator, to the standard output stream.

Namespace:  System
Assembly:  mscorlib (in mscorlib.dll)
Syntax
Visual Basic
<HostProtectionAttribute(SecurityAction.LinkDemand, UI := True)> _
Public Shared Sub WriteLine ( _
	value As Decimal _
)
C#
[HostProtectionAttribute(SecurityAction.LinkDemand, UI = true)]
public static void WriteLine(
	decimal value
)
Visual C++
[HostProtectionAttribute(SecurityAction::LinkDemand, UI = true)]
public:
static void WriteLine(
	Decimal value
)
F#
[<HostProtectionAttribute(SecurityAction.LinkDemand, UI = true)>]
static member WriteLine : 
        value:decimal -> unit

Parameters

value
Type: System.Decimal
The value to write.
Exceptions
Exception Condition
IOException

An I/O error occurred.

Remarks

The text representation of value is produced by calling the Decimal.ToString method.

For more information about the line terminator, see the Remarks section of the WriteLine method that takes no parameters.

Note Note

The HostProtectionAttribute attribute applied to this type or member has the following Resources property value: UI. The HostProtectionAttribute does not affect desktop applications (which are typically started by double-clicking an icon, typing a command, or entering a URL in a browser). For more information, see the HostProtectionAttribute class or SQL Server Programming and Host Protection Attributes.
Examples

The following code example illustrates the use of the WriteLine method.

Visual Basic
