public static uint ToUInt32(decimal d);[<System.CLSCompliant(false)>]
static member ToUInt32 : decimal -> uint32Public Shared Function ToUInt32 (d As Decimal) As UIntegerParameters
- d
- Decimal
The decimal number to convert.
Returns
A 32-bit unsigned integer equivalent to the value of d.
- Attributes
Exceptions
d is negative or greater than UInt32.MaxValue.
Examples
The following example uses the ToUInt32 method to convert decimal numbers to UInt32 values.
using System;

Remarks
The return value is the integral part of the decimal value; fractional digits are truncated.
You can also convert a Decimal value to an 32-bit unsigned integer by using the Explicit assignment operator. Because the operator performs a narrowing conversion, you must use a casting operator in C# or a conversion function in Visual Basic.
