Converts the value of the specified Decimal number to an equivalent 8-bit unsigned integer.

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

Syntax

'Declaration
Public Shared Function ToByte ( _
    value As Decimal _
) As Byte

public static byte ToByte(
    decimal value
)

Parameters

Return Value

Type: System.Byte
value rounded to the nearest 8-bit signed 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.

Exceptions

Exception Condition
OverflowException

value is greater than Byte.MaxValue or less than Byte.MinValue.

Remarks

The following code sample illustrates the use of ToByte, converting a Decimal value to a Byte :

Public Sub ConvertByteDecimal(ByVal byteVal As Byte)
   Dim decimalVal As Decimal

   ' Byte to decimal conversion will not overflow.
   decimalVal = System.Convert.ToDecimal(byteVal)
   outputBlock.Text &= String.Format("The byte as a decimal is {0}.", _
                             decimalVal) & vbCrLf

   ' Decimal to byte conversion can overflow.
   Try
      byteVal = System.Convert.ToByte(decimalVal)
      outputBlock.Text &= String.Format("The Decimal as a byte is {0}.", _
                                byteVal) & vbCrLf
   Catch exception As System.OverflowException
      outputBlock.Text &= String.Format( _
          "Overflow in decimal-to-byte conversion.") & vbCrLf
   End Try
End Sub

public void ConvertByteDecimal(byte byteVal)
{
   decimal decimalVal;

   // Byte to decimal conversion will not overflow.
   decimalVal = System.Convert.ToDecimal(byteVal);
   outputBlock.Text += String.Format("The byte as a decimal is {0}.",
      decimalVal) + "\n";

   // Decimal to byte conversion can overflow.
   try
   {
      byteVal = System.Convert.ToByte(decimalVal);
      outputBlock.Text += String.Format("The Decimal as a byte is {0}.",
         byteVal) + "\n";
   }
   catch (System.OverflowException)
   {
      outputBlock.Text += String.Format(
         "The decimal value is too large for a byte.") + "\n";
   }
}
