Decimal Implicit Conversion (Int32 to Decimal)

Converts a 32-bit signed integer to a Decimal.

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

static implicit operator Decimal (
	int value
)

Parameters

value
Type: System::Int32
The 32-bit signed integer to convert.

Return Value

Type: System::Decimal
The converted 32-bit signed integer.

The following code example converts Int32 values to Decimal numbers using the Int32 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 int 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 int argument and display the Decimal value.
void DecimalFromInt32( int 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 "
   "int to Decimal \ngenerates the following output. "
   "It displays the Decimal value \nand its binary "
   "representation.\n" );
   Console::WriteLine( formatter, "int argument", "Decimal value", "bits[3]", "bits[2]", "bits[1]", "bits[0]" );
   Console::WriteLine( formatter, "------------", "-------------", "-------", "-------", "-------", "-------" );

   // Convert int values and display the results.
   DecimalFromInt32( Int32::MinValue );
   DecimalFromInt32( Int32::MaxValue );
   DecimalFromInt32( 0xFFFFFF );
   DecimalFromInt32( 123456789 );
   DecimalFromInt32(  -1000000000 );
}
