This method is used to convert the value of the specified Decimal to the equivalent 64-bit signed integer. A user can also convert a Decimal value to a 64-bit integer by using the Explicit assignment operator.
Syntax: public static long ToInt64 (decimal d); Here, the value is the decimal number which is to be converted. Return Value: It returns a 64-bit signed integer equivalent to the specified value. Exception: This method will give OverflowException if the specified value is less than MinValue or greater than MaxValue.
Below programs illustrate the use of the above-discussed method: Example 1: csharp
// C# program to demonstrate the
// Decimal.ToInt64(Decimal) Method
using System;

class GFG {

    // Main Method
    public static void Main()
    {
        try {

            // Taking decimal variables
            Decimal dec1 = -926534668654775808.859m;
            Decimal dec2 = 4897498545.2364654M;

            // using Decimal.ToInt64(Decimal) Method
            // Here long means Int64
            long val1 = Decimal.ToInt64(dec1);
            
            // using Decimal.ToInt64(Decimal) Method
            // Here long means Int64
            long val2 = Decimal.ToInt64(dec2);
            

            // Printing the Int64 value
            Console.WriteLine("The Int64 value "
                            + "is : {0}", val1);
                                
            // Printing the Int64 value
            Console.WriteLine("The Int64 value "
                            + "is : {0}", val2);
                        
        }

        catch (OverflowException e) 
        {
            Console.Write("Exception Thrown: ");
            Console.Write("{0}", e.GetType(), e.Message);
        }
    }
}
Output:
The Int64 value is : -926534668654775808
The Int64 value is : 4897498545
Example 2: For OverflowException csharp
// C# program to demonstrate the
// Decimal.ToInt64(Decimal) Method
using System;

class GFG {

    // Main Method
    public static void Main()
    {
        try {

            // Taking decimal variables
            Decimal dec1 = Decimal.MinValue;
            
            // Taking the maximum value 
            // of Decimal
            Decimal dec2 = Decimal.MaxValue;

            // using Decimal.ToInt64(Decimal) Method
            // Here long means Int64
            // It will give error
            long val1 = Decimal.ToInt64(dec1);
            
            // using Decimal.ToInt64(Decimal) Method
            // Here long means Int64
            // It will give error
            long val2 = Decimal.ToInt64(dec2);
            

            // Printing the Int64 value
            Console.WriteLine("The Int64 value "
                            + "is : {0}", val1);
                                
            // Printing the Int64 value
            Console.WriteLine("The Int64 value "
                            + "is : {0}", val2);
                        
        }

        catch (OverflowException e) 
        {
            Console.Write("Exception Thrown: ");
            Console.Write("{0}", e.GetType(), e.Message);
        }
    }
}
Output:
Exception Thrown: System.OverflowException
