Implicit Type Conversion(VarType,Int32) Operator

Converts a numerical VARTYPE to a VarType object.

Syntax

Visual Basic
C#
C++/CLI

'Declaration
 
<NotNullAttribute()>
Overloads Public Operator Widening CType( _
   ByVal numericalValue As Integer _
) As VarType

'Usage

[NotNull()]
public VarType operator implicit( 
   int numericalValue
)

[NotNull()]
public:
operator VarType^ ( 
   int numericalValue
)

Parameters

numericalValue: Numerical VARTYPE to be converted.
Valid values of this parameter are in the range from 0 to 65535.

Return Value

Returns a VarType converted from the input argument.

Because there is an implicit conversion from VarType to System.Int32 and VarTypes, in languages that support implicit conversion operators (such as C# or VB.NET), you can simply use the return value in place of an integer (System.Int32) (representing the numerical value of the COM VARTYPE), or in place a VarTypes enumeration value. When the implicit conversion operators are not supported (such as with Python.NET), you can use the ToInt32 or ToVarTypes static method instead.

This method never returns null (Nothing in Visual Basic).

Remarks

This operator is equivalent to FromInt32.
