Namespace: System
Assembly: mscorlib (in mscorlib.dll)
Syntax
'Declaration
Public Shared Function ToDouble ( _
value As Byte _
) As Double
public static double ToDouble(
byte value
)
Parameters
- value
Type: System.Byte
An 8-bit unsigned integer.
Return Value
Type: System.Double
The double-precision floating point number equivalent to the value of value.
Examples
The following code sample illustrates the conversion of a Byte value to a Double one, using ToDouble.
Public Sub ConvertDoubleByte(ByVal doubleVal As Double)
Dim byteVal As Byte = 0
' Double to Byte conversion can overflow.
Try
byteVal = System.Convert.ToByte(doubleVal)
outputBlock.Text &= String.Format("{0} as a Byte is: {1}.", _
doubleVal, byteVal) & vbCrLf
Catch exception As System.OverflowException
outputBlock.Text &= String.Format( _
"Overflow in Double-to-Byte conversion.") & vbCrLf
End Try
' Byte to Double conversion cannot overflow.
doubleVal = System.Convert.ToDouble(byteVal)
outputBlock.Text &= String.Format("{0} as a Double is: {1}.", _
byteVal, doubleVal) & vbCrLf
End Sub
public void ConvertDoubleByte(double doubleVal)
{
byte byteVal = 0;
// Double to byte conversion can overflow.
try
{
byteVal = System.Convert.ToByte(doubleVal);
outputBlock.Text += String.Format("{0} as a byte is: {1}.",
doubleVal, byteVal) + "\n";
}
catch (System.OverflowException)
{
outputBlock.Text += String.Format(
"Overflow in double-to-byte conversion.") + "\n";
}
// Byte to double conversion cannot overflow.
doubleVal = System.Convert.ToDouble(byteVal);
outputBlock.Text += String.Format("{0} as a double is: {1}.",
byteVal, doubleVal) + "\n";
}
