Number type List Column returns double values instead of integer

Question

I've created custom list via browser, and set one of it's column's type to Number. I've set number of decimals to 0, so I was expecting, that numbers this column will store would be of type integer. However when I retrieve values from list programmatically, all the values in this column are doubles, so if I inserted 1, now the returning value is 1.0.

How can I configure my list, so this column will store numbers as integers ?

I'm using SharePoint 2010.

Answer 1

The column is a double value, it just won't store any precision. Convert to int to use as an int: c# ToInt32
