Decimal.ToInt32(Decimal) Method

Definition

Converts the value of the specified Decimal to the equivalent 32-bit signed integer.

public:
 static int ToInt32(System::Decimal d);
public static int ToInt32 (decimal d);
static member ToInt32 : decimal -> int
Public Shared Function ToInt32 (d As Decimal) As Integer

Parameters

d
Decimal

The decimal number to convert.

Returns

A 32-bit signed integer equivalent to the value of d.

Exceptions

d is less than Int32.MinValue or greater than Int32.MaxValue.

Examples

The following example uses the ToInt32 method to convert decimal numbers to Int32 values.

using System;

   public static void Main( )

      decimal[] values = { 123m, new decimal(123000, 0, 0, false, 3),

Remarks

The return value is the integral part of the decimal value; fractional digits are truncated.

You can also convert a Decimal value to a 32-bit integer by using the Explicit assignment operator. Because the operator performs a narrowing conversion, you must use a casting operator in C# or a conversion function in Visual Basic.
