数据类型指用于声明不同类型的变量或函数的扩展系统。 变量的类型确定它在存储中占用多少空间以及如何解释存储的位模式。

VB.Net中提供的数据类型

VB.Net提供了多种数据类型。下表显示的所有数据类型可用的：

示例

下面的示例演示使用的一些类型︰

Module DataTypes
   Sub Main()
      Dim b As Byte
      Dim n As Integer
      Dim si As Single
      Dim d As Double
      Dim da As Date
      Dim c As Char
      Dim s As String
      Dim bl As Boolean
      b = 1
      n = 1234567
      si = 0.12345678901234566
      d = 0.12345678901234566
      da = Today
      c = "U"c
      s = "Me"
      If ScriptEngine = "VB" Then
         bl = True
      Else
         bl = False
      End If
      If bl Then
         'the oath taking
          Console.Write(c & " and," & s & vbCrLf)
          Console.WriteLine("declaring on the day of: {0}", da)
          Console.WriteLine("We will learn VB.Net seriously")
          Console.WriteLine("Lets see what happens to the floating point variables:")
          Console.WriteLine("The Single: {0}, The Double: {1}", si, d)
      End If
      Console.ReadKey()
   End Sub

End Module

当上述代码被编译和执行时，它产生了以下结果：

U and, Me
declaring on the day of: 12/4/2012 12:00:00 PM
We will learn VB.Net seriously
Lets see what happens to the floating point variables:
The Single:0.1234568, The Double: 0.123456789012346

VB.Net中的类型转换函数

VB.Net提供以下内联类型转换函数：

示例：

下面的例子演示了其中的一些功能：

Module DataTypes
   Sub Main()
      Dim n As Integer
      Dim da As Date
      Dim bl As Boolean = True
      n = 1234567
      da = Today
      Console.WriteLine(bl)
      Console.WriteLine(CSByte(bl))
      Console.WriteLine(CStr(bl))
      Console.WriteLine(CStr(da))
      Console.WriteLine(CChar(CChar(CStr(n))))
      Console.WriteLine(CChar(CStr(da)))
      Console.ReadKey()
   End Sub
End Module

当上述代码被编译和执行时，它产生了以下结果：

True
