Does this mean Convert?

double Amout = 123;

decimal value = (decimal)Amount;


What will be value after that? 123?
Thanks

123 stored as a decimal, which is not the same way a double is stored.

Hi vinnie,

That means casting, with decimal result 123.
Convert it's a System.Convert

Hi,

Does this mean Convert?

Not really, you are converting it but the name of the mechanism is casting.
So you are doing a cast, It's not the same that using one of the
Convert.ToXXXX methods

I do remember a thread a few days ago regarding cast/Convert take a look in
the archives for some interesting threads about the subject.
