C# Casting to a decimal

.net, c#, casting, decimal, double

Solution

There is no difference. If you look at the source:

In Decimal:

public static explicit operator decimal(double value)
{
    return new decimal(value);
}

In Convert:

public static decimal ToDecimal(float value)
{
    return (decimal) value;
}

So in the end they all call `new decimal(double)`.

Problem

What, if any, is the difference between? ``` decimal d = (decimal) myDouble; decimal d = new decimal(myDouble); decimal d = Convert.ToDecimal(myDouble); ```
