Decimal Implicit Conversion (Byte to Decimal)
Visual Studio 2010
Converts an 8-bit unsigned integer to a Decimal.
Assembly: mscorlib (in mscorlib.dll)
Parameters
- value
- Type: System::Byte
The 8-bit unsigned integer to convert.
The following code example converts Byte values to Decimal numbers using the Byte to Decimal conversion. This conversion is implicit in C#, but requires the op_Implicit operator in Visual Basic and C++. Implicit conversions to Decimal use other methods in these languages.
// Example of the op_Implicit conversion from unsigned char to Decimal. using namespace System; #define formatter "{0,14}{1,15}{2,10:X8}{3,9:X8}{4,9:X8}{5,9:X8}" // Convert the unsigned char argument and display the Decimal value. void DecimalFromByte( unsigned char argument ) { Decimal decValue; array<Int32>^bits; // The compiler invokes a constructor in the Managed Extensions // for C++ unless op_Implicit is explicitly called. decValue = argument; // Display the Decimal and its binary representation. bits = Decimal::GetBits( decValue ); Console::WriteLine( formatter, argument, decValue, bits[ 3 ], bits[ 2 ], bits[ 1 ], bits[ 0 ] ); } int main() { Console::WriteLine( "This example of the op_Implicit conversion from unsigned " "char to Decimal \ngenerates the following output. " "It displays the Decimal value and its \nbinary " "representation.\n" ); Console::WriteLine( formatter, "unsigned char", "Decimal value", "bits[3]", "bits[2]", "bits[1]", "bits[0]" ); Console::WriteLine( formatter, "-------------", "-------------", "-------", "-------", "-------", "-------" ); // Convert unsigned char values and display the results. DecimalFromByte( Byte::MinValue ); DecimalFromByte( Byte::MaxValue ); DecimalFromByte( 0x3F ); DecimalFromByte( 123 ); DecimalFromByte( 200 ); } /* This example of the op_Implicit conversion from unsigned char to Decimal generates the following output.
