VB : CByte Function

Using CByte function in VB


CByte function can be used to force byte arithmetic where multi-decimal figures are present. The following example below shows how to convert a dollar value derived from currency exchange.

Assuming we are converting 1o Euro to US Dollar using an exchange rate of 1 Euro = 1.3864 USD


Dim ExchangeRate As Double '---Variables declaration
Dim Euro, USD As Double
Dim Output As Byte

Euro = 10 '---- 10 Euro
ExchangeRate = 1.3864 '----Initialize exchange rate value

USD = Euro * ExchangeRate '---- This will gives you a figure of 13.854 in US dollar term

Output = CByte(USD) '--- Convert the data to byte arithmetic

MsgBox(Output) '---- Output value becomes 14 US Dollar


Hence, that shows how you can implement CByte function in your Visual Basic programming
