public static long ToInt64 (decimal d);

static member ToInt64 : decimal -> int64

Public Shared Function ToInt64 (d As Decimal) As Long

Parameters

d: Decimal

The decimal number to convert.

Returns

Int64

A 64-bit signed integer equivalent to the value of d.

Exceptions

OverflowException

d is less than Int64.MinValue or greater than Int64.MaxValue.

Remarks

The return value is the integral part of the decimal value; fractional digits are truncated.

You can also convert a Decimal value to a 64-bit integer by using the Explicit assignment operator. Because the operator performs a narrowing conversion, you must use a casting operator in C# or a conversion function in Visual Basic.
