Decimal Implicit Conversion (UInt16 to Decimal)
Microsoft Silverlight will reach end of support after October 2021. Learn more.
Converts a 16-bit unsigned integer to a Decimal.
This API is not CLS-compliant.
Namespace: System
Assembly: mscorlib (in mscorlib.dll)
Syntax
'Declaration
Public Shared Widening Operator CType ( _
value As UShort _
) As Decimal
public static implicit operator decimal (
ushort value
)
Parameters
- value
Type: System.UInt16
A 16-bit unsigned integer.
Return Value
Type: System.Decimal
A Decimal that represents the converted 16-bit unsigned integer.
Examples
The following code example converts UInt16 values to Decimal numbers using the UInt16 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 UInt16 to Decimal.
Imports System.Globalization
Module Example
Const formatter As String = _
"{0,15}{1,15}{2,10:X8}{3,9:X8}{4,9:X8}{5,9:X8}"
' Convert the UInt16 argument and display the Decimal value.
Sub DecimalFromUInt16(ByVal outputBlock As System.Windows.Controls.TextBlock, ByVal argument As UInt16)
Dim decValue As Decimal
Dim bits() As Integer
' The compiler invokes a constructor in Visual Basic
' unless op_Implicit is explicitly called.
decValue = Decimal.op_Implicit(argument)
' Display the Decimal and its binary representation.
bits = Decimal.GetBits(decValue)
outputBlock.Text &= String.Format(formatter, argument, decValue, _
bits(3), bits(2), bits(1), bits(0)) & vbCrLf
End Sub
