Complex Explicit Conversion (Decimal to Complex)

.NET Framework (current version)

Defines an explicit conversion of a Decimal value to a complex number.

Namespace: System.Numerics
Assembly: System.Numerics (in System.Numerics.dll)

Syntax

public:
static explicit operator Complex (
	Decimal value
)

Parameters

value: Type: System::Decimal
The value to convert to a complex number.

Return Value

Type: System.Numerics::Complex

A complex number that has a real component equal to value and an imaginary component equal to zero.

Explicit conversion operators define types that can be converted to a Complex object. Language compilers do not perform this conversion automatically because it can involve data loss. Instead, they perform the conversion only if a casting operator (in C#) or a conversion function (such as CType in Visual Basic) is used. Otherwise, they display a compiler error.

The conversion of a Decimal value to the real part of a complex number can result in a loss of precision because a Double, which is the type of the complex number's Real property, has fewer significant digits than a Decimal.

Examples

The following example illustrates the explicit conversion of Decimal values to Complex values.
