Important

This API is not CLS-compliant.

Converts the value of the specified Decimal to the equivalent 64-bit unsigned integer.

public:
 static System::UInt64 ToUInt64(System::Decimal d);

[System.CLSCompliant(false)]
public static ulong ToUInt64(decimal d);

[<System.CLSCompliant(false)>]
static member ToUInt64 : decimal -> uint64

Public Shared Function ToUInt64 (d As Decimal) As ULong

Parameters

d: Decimal

The decimal number to convert.

Returns

UInt64

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

Attributes: CLSCompliantAttribute

Exceptions

OverflowException

d is negative or greater than UInt64.MaxValue.

Examples

The following example uses the ToUInt64 method to convert decimal numbers to UInt64 values.

using System;

Remarks

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

You can also convert a Decimal value to an 64-bit unsigned 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.
