Decimal Constructor (Int32)
Microsoft Silverlight will reach end of support after October 2021. Learn more.
Initializes a new instance of Decimal to the value of the specified 32-bit signed integer.
Namespace: System
Assembly: mscorlib (in mscorlib.dll)
Syntax
'Declaration
Public Sub New ( _
value As Integer _
)
public Decimal(
int value
)
Parameters
- value
Type: System.Int32
The value to represent as a Decimal.
Examples
The following code example creates several Decimal numbers using the constructor overload that initializes a Decimal structure with an Int32 value.
' Example of the Decimal( Integer ) constructor.
Module Example
' Create a Decimal object and display its value.
Sub CreateDecimal(ByVal outputBlock As System.Windows.Controls.TextBlock, ByVal value As Integer, ByVal valToStr As String)
Dim decimalNum As New Decimal(value)
' Format the constructor for display.
Dim ctor As String = _
String.Format("Decimal( {0} )", valToStr)
' Display the constructor and its value.
outputBlock.Text &= String.Format("{0,-33}{1,16}", ctor, decimalNum) & vbCrLf
End Sub
Public Sub Demo(ByVal outputBlock As System.Windows.Controls.TextBlock)
outputBlock.Text &= _
"This example of the Decimal( Integer ) constructor " & _
vbCrLf & "generates the following output." & vbCrLf & vbCrLf
outputBlock.Text &= String.Format("{0,-33}{1,16}", "Constructor", "Value") & vbCrLf
outputBlock.Text &= String.Format("{0,-33}{1,16}", "-----------", "-----") & vbCrLf
' Construct Decimal objects from Integer values.
CreateDecimal(outputBlock, Integer.MinValue, "Integer.MinValue")
CreateDecimal(outputBlock, Integer.MaxValue, "Integer.MaxValue")
CreateDecimal(outputBlock, 0, "0")
CreateDecimal(outputBlock, 999999999, "999999999")
CreateDecimal(outputBlock, &H40000000, "&H40000000")
CreateDecimal(outputBlock, &HC0000000, "&HC0000000")
End Sub
End Module
' This example of the Decimal( Integer ) constructor
' generates the following output.
