Byte.MinValue Field

Represents the smallest possible value of a Byte. This field is constant.

[Visual Basic]
Public Const MinValue As Byte
[C#]
public const byte MinValue;
[C++]
public: const unsigned char MinValue;
[JScript]
public var MinValue : Byte;

Remarks

The value of this constant is 0.

Example

[Visual Basic] 
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


[C#] 
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());
   }
}

[C++] 
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());
    }
}
