You can also convert a Decimal value to an 8-bit signed integer by using the Narrowing(Decimal to SByte) assignment operator. Because the operator performs a narrowing conversion, you must use a casting operator in C# or a conversion function in Visual Basic.
The following example uses the ToSByte method to convert decimal numbers to SByte values.
Module Example Public Sub Main() Dim values() As Decimal = { 78d, New Decimal(78000, 0, 0, false, 3), 78.999d, 255.999d, 256d, 127.999d, 128d, -0.999d, -1d, -128.999d, -129d } For Each value In values Try Dim number As SByte = Decimal.ToSByte(value) Console.WriteLine("{0} --> {1}", value, number) Catch e As OverflowException Console.WriteLine("{0}: {1}", e.GetType().Name, value) End Try Next End Sub End Module ' The example displays the following output: ' 78 --> 78 ' 78.000 --> 78 ' 78.999 --> 78 ' OverflowException: 255.999 ' OverflowException: 256 ' 127.999 --> 127 ' OverflowException: 128 ' -0.999 --> 0 ' -1 --> -1 ' -128.999 --> -128 ' OverflowException: -129
