Data Type Casting Conversion in C#

Type conversion is transforming one type of data into another type. It is also known as type casting. There are two forms of type casting in C #

• Implicit type conversion −These conversions are done in a form-safe manner by C # For example, conversions from smallest integral types and derivative orbits are converted into base classes.
• Explicit type conversion − These conversions are clearly done by users who use pre-defined functions. For clear conversions, a cast operator is required.

Example - 

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();
      }
   }
}

C# Type Conversion Methods

Sr.No.	Methods & Description

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 (integer or string type) 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.

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();
            
      }
   }
}
