Decimal Implicit Conversion (Byte to Decimal)
[ This article is for Windows Phone 8 developers. If you’re developing for Windows 10, see the latest documentation. ]
Converts an 8-bit unsigned integer to a Decimal.
Assembly: mscorlib (in mscorlib.dll)
Parameters
- value
- Type: System.Byte
An 8-bit unsigned integer.
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 implicit conversion from byte to decimal. using System; class Example { const string formatter = "{0,15}{1,15}{2,10:X8}{3,9:X8}{4,9:X8}{5,9:X8}"; // Convert the byte argument and display the decimal value. public static void DecimalFromByte(System.Windows.Controls.TextBlock outputBlock, byte argument) { decimal decValue; int[] bits; // Display the decimal and its binary representation. decValue = argument; bits = decimal.GetBits(decValue); outputBlock.Text += String.Format(formatter, argument, decValue, bits[3], bits[2], bits[1], bits[0]) + "\n"; } public static void Demo(System.Windows.Controls.TextBlock outputBlock) { outputBlock.Text += String.Format( "This example of the implicit conversion from byte " + "to decimal generates the \nfollowing output. It " + "displays the decimal value and its binary " + "representation.\n") + "\n"; outputBlock.Text += String.Format(formatter, "byte argument", "decimal value", "bits[3]", "bits[2]", "bits[1]", "bits[0]") + "\n"; outputBlock.Text += String.Format(formatter, "-------------", "-------------", "-------", "-------", "-------", "-------") + "\n"; // Convert byte values and display the results. DecimalFromByte(outputBlock, byte.MinValue); DecimalFromByte(outputBlock, byte.MaxValue); DecimalFromByte(outputBlock, 0x3F); DecimalFromByte(outputBlock, 123); DecimalFromByte(outputBlock, 200); } } /* This example of the implicit conversion from byte to decimal generates the following output.
