Decimal Explicit Conversion (Decimal to UInt16)
Converts a Decimal to a 16-bit unsigned integer.
Assembly: mscorlib (in mscorlib.dll)
Parameters
- value
- Type: System::Decimal
The value to convert.
| Exception | Condition |
|---|---|
| OverflowException | value is greater than UInt16::MaxValue or less than UInt16::MinValue. |
This operator supports the explicit conversion of a Decimal to a UInt16. The syntax for such explicit conversions is language-dependent, and individual language compilers can provide different implementations and return different results. The example illustrates the different return values when you explicitly convert a Decimal value to a UInt16 value by using C# and Visual Basic. To perform a conversion that is independent of language, you can call the ToUInt16 or the Convert::ToUInt16(Decimal) method.
The following code example converts Decimal numbers to UInt16 values using the explicit Decimal to UInt16 conversion.
// Example of the explicit conversions from Decimal to short and // Decimal to unsigned short. using namespace System; #define formatter "{0,16}{1,19}{2,19}" // Get the exception type name; remove the namespace prefix. String^ GetExceptionType( Exception^ ex ) { String^ exceptionType = ex->GetType()->ToString(); return exceptionType->Substring( exceptionType->LastIndexOf( '.' ) + 1 ); } // Convert the Decimal argument; catch exceptions that are thrown. void DecimalToU_Int16( Decimal argument ) { Object^ Int16Value; Object^ UInt16Value; // Convert the argument to a short value. try { Int16Value = (short)argument; } catch ( Exception^ ex ) { Int16Value = GetExceptionType( ex ); } // Convert the argument to an unsigned short value. try { UInt16Value = (unsigned short)argument; } catch ( Exception^ ex ) { UInt16Value = GetExceptionType( ex ); } Console::WriteLine( formatter, argument, Int16Value, UInt16Value ); } int main() { Console::WriteLine( "This example of the explicit conversions from Decimal to " "short \nand Decimal to unsigned short generates the " "following output. \nIt displays several converted Decimal " "values.\n" ); Console::WriteLine( formatter, "Decimal argument", "short", "unsigned short" ); Console::WriteLine( formatter, "----------------", "-----", "--------------" ); // Convert Decimal values and display the results.
