Defines an implicit conversion of an unsigned byte to a BigInteger value.
Namespace: System.Numerics
Assembly: System.Numerics (in System.Numerics.dll)
Syntax
'Declaration
Public Shared Widening Operator CType ( _
value As Byte _
) As BigInteger
public static implicit operator BigInteger (
byte value
)
Parameters
- value
Type: System.Byte
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 a Byte value to a BigInteger value, as the following example shows.
