Complex Implicit Conversion (UInt64 to Complex)

Syntax

'Declaration
Public Shared Widening Operator CType ( _
    value As ULong _
) As Complex

public static implicit operator Complex (
    ulong value
)

Remarks

The overloads of the Implicit operator define the types from which a compiler can automatically convert a Complex object without an explicit casting operator (in C#) or a call to a conversion function (in Visual Basic). They are widening conversions that do not involve data loss and do not throw an OverflowException.

This overload lets the compiler handle conversions from an unsigned 64-bit integer to a complex number, as the following example shows. Note that the result of the conversion is a complex number whose real part is equal to the unsigned 64-bit integer and whose imaginary part is equal to zero.

Dim longValue As ULong = 951034217
Dim c1 As System.Numerics.Complex = longValue
outputBlock.Text &= c1.ToString() + vbCrLf
' The example displays the following output:
'       (951034217, 0)

ulong longValue = 951034217;
System.Numerics.Complex c1 = longValue;
outputBlock.Text += c1 + "\n";
// The example displays the following output:
//       (951034217, 0)
