Represents the smallest possible value of a Byte. This field is constant.
Assembly: mscorlib (in mscorlib.dll)
Examples
The following example demonstrates how to use the MinValue field to screen variable inputs for values that are outside the range of possible byte values.
Public Sub MinMaxFields(ByVal numberToSet As Integer)
If numberToSet <= CInt([Byte].MaxValue) And numberToSet >= CInt([Byte].MinValue) Then
' You must explicitly convert an integer to a byte.
MemberByte = CType(numberToSet, [Byte])
' Displays MemberByte using the ToString() method.
Console.WriteLine("The MemberByte value is {0}.", MemberByte.ToString())
Else
Console.WriteLine("The value {0} is outside of the range of possible Byte values.", numberToSet.ToString())
End If
End Sub 'MinMaxFields
public void MinMaxFields(int numberToSet)
{
if(numberToSet <= (int)Byte.MaxValue && numberToSet >= (int)Byte.MinValue)
{
// You must explicitly convert an integer to a byte.
MemberByte = (Byte)numberToSet;
// Displays MemberByte using the ToString() method.
Console.WriteLine("The MemberByte value is {0}", MemberByte.ToString());
}
else
{
Console.WriteLine("The value {0} is outside of the range of possible Byte values", numberToSet.ToString());
}
}
public:
void MinMaxFields( Int32 numberToSet )
{
if ( numberToSet <= (Int32)Byte::MaxValue && numberToSet >= (Int32)Byte::MinValue )
{
// You must explicitly convert an integer to a byte.
MemberByte = (Byte)numberToSet;
// Displays MemberByte using the ToString() method.
Console::WriteLine( "The MemberByte value is {0}", MemberByte.ToString() );
}
else
{
Console::WriteLine( "The value {0} is outside of the range of possible Byte values", numberToSet.ToString() );
}
}
