Represents the largest possible value of an Int32. This field is constant.
(in mscorlib.dll)
'Usage
Dim value As Integer
value = Integer.MaxValue
'Declaration
Public Const MaxValue As Integer
The value of this constant is 2,147,483,647; that is, hexadecimal 0x7FFFFFFF.
The following example uses the MaxValue field to prevent an OverflowException when converting to an Int32 value.
Dim numbersToConvert() As Long = { 162345, 32183, -54000, Int64.MaxValue\2 }
Dim newNumber As Integer
For Each number As Long In NumbersToConvert
If number >= Int32.MinValue And number <= Int32.MaxValue Then
newNumber = Convert.ToInt32(number)
Console.WriteLine("Successfully converted {0} to an Int32.", _
newNumber)
Else
Console.WriteLine("Unable to convert {0} to an Int32.", number)
End If
Next
