You can use the
cast operator convert the following
types explicitly:
Notes: - When you are explicitly casting to a decimal type, the discarding
of the leading nonzero digits does not cause an exception at run time.
For more information about suppressing compiler messages and runtime
exceptions, refer to Converting decimal types.
- An implicit conversion to a decimal type with an even number of
digits may not clear the pad digit, but an explicit cast will clear
the pad digit.
