C# - TYPE CONVERSION

http://www.tutorialspoint.com/csharp/csharp_type_conversion.htm Copyright © tutorialspoint.com

Type conversion is converting one type of data to another type. It is also known as Type Casting. In
C#, type casting has two forms:

Implicit type conversion - These conversions are performed by C# in a type-safe manner.


For example, are conversions from smaller to larger integral types and conversions from
derived classes to base classes.

Explicit type conversion - These conversions are done explicitly by users using the pre-
defined functions. Explicit conversions require a cast operator.

The following example shows an explicit type conversion:

using System;
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:

Sr.No Methods & Description

1 ToBoolean

Converts a type to a Boolean value, where possible.

2 ToByte

Converts a type to a byte.

3 ToChar

Converts a type to a single Unicode character, where possible.

4 ToDateTime

Converts a type integerorstringtype to date-time structures.


5 ToDecimal

Converts a floating point or integer type to a decimal type.

6 ToDouble

Converts a type to a double type.

7 ToInt16

Converts a type to a 16-bit integer.

8 ToInt32

Converts a type to a 32-bit integer.

9 ToInt64

Converts a type to a 64-bit integer.

10 ToSbyte

Converts a type to a signed byte type.

11 ToSingle

Converts a type to a small floating point number.

12 ToString

Converts a type to a string.

13 ToType

Converts a type to a specified type.

14 ToUInt16

Converts a type to an unsigned int type.

15 ToUInt32

Converts a type to an unsigned long type.

16 ToUInt64

Converts a type to an unsigned big integer.

The following example converts various value types to string type:

using System;
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
