| OverflowException | value is less than Decimal.MinValue or greater than Decimal.MaxValue. -or- value is Double.NaN, Double.PositiveInfinity, or Double.NegativeInfinity. |
The following example converts Double values to Decimal numbers by using the Double to Decimal conversion. This conversion requires the op_Explicit operator in Visual Basic.
// Example of the explicit conversion from double to decimal. using System; class DecimalFromDoubleDemo { const string formatter = "{0,25:E16}{1,33}"; // Get the exception type name; remove the namespace prefix. public static string GetExceptionType( Exception ex ) { string exceptionType = ex.GetType( ).ToString( ); return exceptionType.Substring( exceptionType.LastIndexOf( '.' ) + 1 ); } // Convert the double argument; catch exceptions that are thrown. public static void DecimalFromDouble( double argument ) { object decValue; // Convert the double argument to a decimal value. try { decValue = (decimal)argument; } catch( Exception ex ) { decValue = GetExceptionType( ex ); } Console.WriteLine( formatter, argument, decValue ); } public static void Main( ) { Console.WriteLine( "This example of the explicit conversion from double " + "to decimal \ngenerates the following output.\n" ); Console.WriteLine( formatter, "double argument", "decimal value" ); Console.WriteLine( formatter, "---------------", "-------------" ); // Convert double values and display the results. DecimalFromDouble( 1.234567890123E-30 ); DecimalFromDouble( 1.2345678901234E-25 ); DecimalFromDouble( 1.23456789012345E-20 ); DecimalFromDouble( 1.234567890123456E-10 ); DecimalFromDouble( 1.2345678901234567 ); DecimalFromDouble( 1.23456789012345678E+12 ); DecimalFromDouble( 1.234567890123456789E+28 ); DecimalFromDouble( 1.234567890123456789E+30 ); } } /* This example of the explicit conversion from double to decimal generates the following output. double argument decimal value --------------- ------------- 1.2345678901230000E-030 0 1.2345678901233999E-025 0.0000000000000000000000001235 1.2345678901234499E-020 0.0000000000000000000123456789 1.2345678901234560E-010 0.000000000123456789012346 1.2345678901234567E+000 1.23456789012346 1.2345678901234568E+012 1234567890123.46 1.2345678901234568E+028 12345678901234600000000000000 1.2345678901234569E+030 OverflowException */
