BigInteger Implicit Conversion (Int16 to BigInteger)

Microsoft Silverlight will reach end of support after October 2021. Learn more.

Defines an implicit conversion of a signed 16-bit integer to a BigInteger value.

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

Syntax

'Declaration
Public Shared Widening Operator CType ( _
    value As Short _
) As BigInteger

public static implicit operator BigInteger (
    short value
)

Parameters

value
Type: System.Int16
The value to convert to a BigInteger.

Return Value

Type: System.Numerics.BigInteger
An object that contains the value of the value parameter.

Remarks

The overloads of the Implicit(Byte to BigInteger) method define the types from which a compiler can automatically convert a BigInteger value without an explicit casting operator (in C#) or a call to a conversion function (in Visual Basic). They are widening conversions that do not involve data loss and do not throw an OverflowException. This overload lets the compiler handle conversions from an Int16 value to a BigInteger value, as the following example shows.
