Decimal.ToDouble (Decimal)

Converts a Decimal to a Double with a specified format.

[Visual Basic]
Overloads Public Shared Function ToDouble( _
   ByVal d As Decimal _
) As Double
[C#]
public static double ToDouble(
   Decimal d
);
[C++]
public: static double ToDouble(
   Decimal d
);
[JScript]
public static function ToDouble(
   d : Decimal
) : double;

Parameters

d
The Decimal value to convert.

Return Value

The result of converting the argument to a Double.

Remarks

The ToDouble method returns the specified parameter as an 8-byte double precision floating-point number.

Since a Double has fewer significant digits than a Decimal, this operation may produce round-off errors.

This method implements IConvertible, which replaced IValue. This method is used to obtain the type code for a specified object. (See Convert and Value for more information about conversions; see the Type for more information about types.)
