Remarks

The return value is the integral part of the decimal value; fractional digits are truncated.

You can also convert a Decimal value to a 64-bit integer by using the Explicit assignment operator. Because the operator performs a narrowing conversion, you must use a casting operator in C# or a conversion function in Visual Basic.
