Summary

Performs conversions between base data types.

Description

The following table shows conversions from source types to destination types. The first column contains the source types. The remaining columns indicate the destination types the source may be converted to. An 'x' indicates the Convert class implements the conversion. [Note: the column headers correspond precisely, in order, to the source types in the first column, but have been abbreviated to fit.]

Type	Bool
Boolean	x
Byte	x
Char
DateTime
Decimal	x
Double	x
Int16	x
Int32	x
Int64	x
SByte	x
Single	x
String	x
UInt16	x
UInt32	x
UInt64	x

If the conversion of a numeric type results in a loss of precision, no exception is thrown. However, an exception is thrown if the conversion result is a value that is larger than that which can be represented by the destination type. For example, when a Double is converted to a Single, a loss of precision may occur but no exception is thrown. However, if the magnitude of the Double is too large to be represented by a Single, a OverflowException is thrown.

Converts a Single to a Byte .

Parameters

value

The Single value to be converted.

Return Value

value as a Byte , rounded to the nearest integer.

Exceptions

Exception Type	Condition
OverflowException	value is greater than System.Byte.MaxValue or less than System.Byte.MinValue, or value is equal to one of System.Single.NaN, System.Single.PositiveInfinity, or System.Single.NegativeInfinity.

Description

Prior to the conversion, if value is halfway between two whole numbers, it is rounded to the nearest even integer. For example, 4.5 is rounded to 4, and 5.5 is rounded to 6.

Example

The following example demonstrates converting Single values to Byte values.

using System;
class ConvertByteTest {
    static public void Main() {
        float float0 = 0.0f;
        float float1 = 1.5f;
        float float2 = 2.5f; 
        float float3 = -1.0f; 
        byte byte0 = Convert.ToByte(float0);
        byte byte1 = Convert.ToByte(float1);
        byte byte2 = Convert.ToByte(float2);
        Console.WriteLine("(float) {0} as byte = {1}",float0,byte0);
        Console.WriteLine("(float) {0} as byte = {1}",float1,byte1);
        Console.WriteLine("(float) {0} as byte = {1}",float2,byte2);

        byte byte3 = Convert.ToByte(float3); //Throws an exception.
        Console.WriteLine("(float) {0} as byte = {1}",float3,byte3);
    }
}

The output is

(float) 0 as byte = 0

(float) 1.5 as byte = 2

(float) 2.5 as byte = 2

Return Value

value as a Byte , rounded to the nearest integer.

Exceptions

Exception Type	Condition
OverflowException	value is greater than System.Byte.MaxValue or less than System.Byte.MinValue, or value is equal to one of System.Double.NaN, System.Double.PositiveInfinity, or System.Double.NegativeInfinity.

Description

Prior to the conversion, if value is halfway between two numbers, it is rounded to the number that has an even digit in the rightmost decimal position. For example, when rounded to two decimals, the value 2.345 becomes 2.34 and the value 2.355 becomes 2.36

Example

The following example demonstrates converting Double values to Byte values.

using System;
class ConvertByteTest {
    static public void Main() {
        double double0 = 0.0;
        double double1 = 1.5;
        double double2 = 2.5; 
        double double3 = -1.0; 
        byte byte0 = Convert.ToByte(double0);
        byte byte1 = Convert.ToByte(double1);
        byte byte2 = Convert.ToByte(double2);
        Console.WriteLine("(double) {0} as byte = {1}",double0,byte0);
        Console.WriteLine("(double) {0} as byte = {1}",double1,byte1);
        Console.WriteLine("(double) {0} as byte = {1}",double2,byte2);

        byte byte3 = Convert.ToByte(double3); //Throws an exception.
        Console.WriteLine("(double) {0} as byte = {1}",double3,byte3);
    }
}

The output is

(double) 0 as byte = 0

Description

Prior to the conversion, if value is halfway between two whole numbers, it is rounded to the nearest even integer. For example, 4.5 is rounded to 4, and 5.5 is rounded to 6. [Note: This process is known as banker's rounding.]

Example

The following example demonstrates converting Decimal values to Byte values.

using System;
class ConvertByteTest {
    static public void Main() {
        decimal decimal0 = 0.0m;
        decimal decimal1 = 1.5m;
        decimal decimal2 = 2.5m; 
        decimal decimal3 = -1.0m; 
        byte byte0 = Convert.ToByte(decimal0);
