BigInteger Implicit Conversion (SByte to BigInteger)
Microsoft Silverlight will reach end of support after October 2021. Learn more.
Defines an implicit conversion of an 8-bit signed integer to a BigInteger value.
This API is not CLS-compliant. The CLS-compliant alternative is BigInteger(Int32).
Namespace: System.Numerics
Assembly: System.Numerics (in System.Numerics.dll)
Syntax
'Declaration
Public Shared Widening Operator CType ( _
value As SByte _
) As BigInteger
public static implicit operator BigInteger (
sbyte value
)
Parameters
- value
Type: System.SByte
The value to convert to a BigInteger.
Return Value
Type: System.Numerics.BigInteger
An object that contains the value of the value parameter.
Remarks
The overloads of the Implicit(Byte to BigInteger) method define the types from which a compiler can automatically convert a BigInteger value without an explicit casting operator (in C#) or a call to a conversion function (in Visual Basic). They are widening conversions that do not involve data loss and do not throw an OverflowException. This overload lets the compiler handle conversions from an SByte value to a BigInteger value, as the following example shows.
