Convert.ToUInt64 Method (Decimal)
Converts the value of the specified decimal number to an equivalent 64-bit unsigned integer.
Assembly: mscorlib (in mscorlib.dll)
Parameters
- value
- Type: System.Decimal
The decimal number to convert.
Return Value
Type: System.UInt64value, rounded to the nearest 64-bit unsigned 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 less than zero or greater than UInt64.MaxValue. |
The following example attempts to convert each element in an array of Decimal values to an unsigned long integer.
decimal[] values= { Decimal.MinValue, -1034.23m, -12m, 0m, 147m, 199.55m, 9214.16m, Decimal.MaxValue }; ulong result; foreach (decimal value in values) { try { result = Convert.ToUInt64(value); Console.WriteLine("Converted the {0} value '{1}' to the {2} value {3}.", value.GetType().Name, value, result.GetType().Name, result); } catch (OverflowException) { Console.WriteLine("{0} is outside the range of the UInt64 type.", value); } } // The example displays the following output: // -79228162514264337593543950335 is outside the range of the UInt64 type. // -1034.23 is outside the range of the UInt64 type. // -12 is outside the range of the UInt64 type. // Converted the Decimal value '0' to the UInt64 value 0. // Converted the Decimal value '147' to the UInt64 value 147. // Converted the Decimal value '199.55' to the UInt64 value 200. // Converted the Decimal value '9214.16' to the UInt64 value 9214. // 79228162514264337593543950335 is outside the range of the UInt64 type.
