Definition

Namespace:

System

Assembly:

System.Runtime.dll

Source:

Decimal.cs

Returns the TypeCode for value type Decimal.

public:
 virtual TypeCode GetTypeCode();

public TypeCode GetTypeCode ();

abstract member GetTypeCode : unit -> TypeCode
override this.GetTypeCode : unit -> TypeCode

Public Function GetTypeCode () As TypeCode

Returns

TypeCode

The enumerated constant Decimal.

Implements

Examples

The following code example uses the GetTypeCode method to return the type code for Decimal value type.

// Example of the Decimal::GetTypeCode method. 
using namespace System;
int main()
{
   Console::WriteLine( "This example of the "
   "Decimal::GetTypeCode( ) \nmethod "
   "generates the following output.\n" );
   
   // Create a Decimal object and get its type code.
   Decimal aDecimal = Decimal(1.0);
   TypeCode typCode = aDecimal.GetTypeCode();
   Console::WriteLine( "Type Code:      \"{0}\"", typCode );
   Console::WriteLine( "Numeric value:  {0}", (int)typCode );
}

/*
