How to convert System.Decimal bits to string in C#?

Question

I\'d like to be able to get the bits from a System.Decimal value and then convert that to the string representation of the value, much like Decimal.ToStri

Answer 1

You can use the Decimal constructor Decimal(Int32[]) to convert your value back:

Decimal Constructor (Int32[])

Initializes a new instance of Decimal to a decimal value represented in binary and contained in a specified array.

Afterwards, you can use ToString if you want. Example:

decimal d = 1403.45433M;
int[] nDecimalBits = decimal.GetBits(d);

decimal d2 = new decimal(nDecimalBits);
string s = d2.ToString();
