Decimal Explicit Conversion (Single to Decimal)

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

Converts a single-precision floating-point number to a Decimal.

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

Syntax

'Declaration
Public Shared Narrowing Operator CType ( _
    value As Single _
) As Decimal
public static explicit operator decimal (
    float value
)

Parameters

  • value
    Type: System.Single
    A single-precision floating-point number.

Return Value

Type: System.Decimal
A Decimal that represents the converted single-precision floating point number.

Exceptions

Exception Condition
OverflowException

value is less than MinValue or greater than MaxValue.

-or-

value is Single.NaN, Single.PositiveInfinity, or Single.NegativeInfinity.

Examples

The following code example converts Single values to Decimal numbers using the Single to Decimal conversion. This conversion requires the op_Explicit operator in Visual Basic.

' Example of the explicit conversion from Single to Decimal.

Module Example

   Const formatter As String = "{0,16:E7}{1,33}"

   ' Get the exception type name; remove the namespace prefix.
   Function GetExceptionType(ByVal ex As Exception) As String

      Dim exceptionType As String = ex.GetType().ToString()
      Return exceptionType.Substring( _
          exceptionType.LastIndexOf("."c) + 1)
   End Function

   ' Convert the Single argument; catch exceptions that are thrown.
   Sub DecimalFromSingle(ByVal outputBlock As System.Windows.Controls.TextBlock, ByVal argument As Single)

      Dim decValue As Object

      ' Convert the Single argument to a Decimal value.
      Try
         decValue = Decimal.op_Explicit(argument)
      Catch ex As Exception
         decValue = GetExceptionType(ex)
      End Try

      ' Display the Decimal.
      outputBlock.Text &= String.Format(formatter, argument, decValue) & vbCrLf
   End Sub

   Public Sub Demo(ByVal outputBlock As System.Windows.Controls.TextBlock)

      outputBlock.Text &= _
          "This example of the explicit conversion from Single " & _
          "to Decimal " & vbCrLf & "generates the following " & _

      outputBlock.Text &= String.Format(formatter, "Single argument", _
          "Decimal value") & vbCrLf
      outputBlock.Text &= String.Format(formatter, "---------------", _
          "-------------") & vbCrLf

      ' Convert Single values and display the results.
