BigInteger Implicit Conversion (UInt16 to BigInteger)

Microsoft Silverlight will reach end of support after October 2021. Learn more.

Defines an implicit conversion of a 16-bit unsigned integer to a BigInteger value.

This API is not CLS-compliant. The CLS-compliant alternative is Implicit(Int32 to BigInteger).

Namespace:  System.Numerics
Assembly:  System.Numerics (in System.Numerics.dll)

Syntax

'Declaration
Public Shared Widening Operator CType ( _
    value As UShort _
) As BigInteger

public static implicit operator BigInteger (
    ushort value
)

Parameters

Return Value

Type: System.Numerics.BigInteger
An object that contains the value of the value parameter.

Remarks

The overloads of the Implicit(Byte to BigInteger) method define the types from which a compiler can automatically convert a BigInteger value without an explicit casting operator (in C#) or a call to a conversion function (in Visual Basic). They are widening conversions that do not involve data loss and do not throw an OverflowException. This overload lets the compiler handle conversions from a UInt16 value to a BigInteger value, as the following example shows.
