T ype conversion is basically type casting or converting one type of data to another type. In C#, type casting has
two forms:
Implic it type c onversion - these conversions are performed by C# in a type-safe manner. Examples
are conversions from smaller to larg er integ ral types and conversions from derived classes to base
classes.
Explic it type c onversion - these conversions are done explicitly by users using the pre-defined
functions. Explicit conversions require a cast operator.
T he following example shows an explicit type conversion:
namespace TypeConversionApplication
{
class ExplicitConversion
{
static void Main(string[] args)
{
double d = 5673.74;
int i;
// cast double to int.
i = (int)d;
Console.WriteLine(i);
Console.ReadKey();
}
}
}

When the above code is compiled and executed, it produces the following result:
5673

C# Type Conversion Methods


C# provides the following built-in type conversion methods:

S.N

Methods & Desc ription

T oBoolean
Converts a type to a Boolean value, where possible.

T oByte
Converts a type to a byte.

T oChar
Converts a type to a sing le Unicode character, where possible.

T oDateT ime
Converts a type (integ er or string type) to date-time structures.

T oDec imal
Converts a floating point or integ er type to a decimal type.

T oDouble
Converts a type to a double type.

T oInt16

Converts a type to a 16-bit integ er.


8

T oInt32
Converts a type to a 32-bit integ er.

T oInt64
Converts a type to a 64-bit integ er.

10

T oSbyte
Converts a type to a sig ned byte type.

11

T oSing le
Converts a type to a small floating point number.

12

T oString
Converts a type to a string .

13

T oT ype
Converts a type to a specified type.

14

T oUInt16
Converts a type to an unsig ned int type.

15

T oUInt32
Converts a type to an unsig ned long type.

16

T oUInt64
Converts a type to an unsig ned big integ er.

T he following example converts various value types to string type:


namespace TypeConversionApplication
{
class StringConversion
{
static void Main(string[] args)
{
int i = 75;
float f = 53.005f;
double d = 2345.7652;
bool b = true;
Console.WriteLine(i.ToString());
Console.WriteLine(f.ToString());
Console.WriteLine(d.ToString());
Console.WriteLine(b.ToString());
Console.ReadKey();
}
}
}

When the above code is compiled and executed, it produces the following result:
75
53.005
2345.7652
True
