.NET Framework (current version)
Converts the value of the specified decimal number to an equivalent 16-bit signed integer.
Assembly: mscorlib (in mscorlib.dll)
Parameters
- value
-
Type:
System.Decimal
The decimal number to convert.
Return Value
Type: System.Int16value, rounded to the nearest 16-bit signed integer. If value is halfway between two whole numbers, the even number is returned; that is, 4.5 is converted to 4, and 5.5 is converted to 6.
| Exception | Condition |
|---|---|
| OverflowException | value is greater than Int16.MaxValue or less than Int16.MinValue. |
The following example attempts to convert each element in an array of Decimal values to a 16-bit signed integer. The example illustrates that any fractional part of a Decimal value is rounded when performing the conversion.
decimal[] values = { Decimal.MinValue, -1034.23m, -12m, 0m, 147m, 9214.16m, Decimal.MaxValue }; short result; foreach (decimal value in values) { try { result = Convert.ToInt16(value); Console.WriteLine("Converted {0} to {1}.", value, result); } catch (OverflowException) { Console.WriteLine("{0} is outside the range of the Int16 type.", value); } } // The example displays the following output: // -79228162514264337593543950335 is outside the range of the Int16 type. // Converted -1034.23 to -1034. // Converted -12 to -12. // Converted 0 to 0. // Converted 147 to 147. // Converted 9214.16 to 9214. // 79228162514264337593543950335 is outside the range of the Int16 type.
