.NET Framework Class Library

UInt16..::.MinValue Field

Represents the smallest possible value of UInt16. This field is constant.

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

Syntax

Visual Basic (Declaration)

Public Const MinValue As UShort

Visual Basic (Usage)

Dim value As UShort

value = UShort.MinValue

public const ushort MinValue

Visual C++

public:
literal unsigned short MinValue

JScript

public const var MinValue : ushort

Remarks

The value of this constant is 0.

Examples

The following example uses the MinValue and MaxValue properties to ensure that an Int32 value is in the range of the UInt16 type before converting it to a UInt16 value. This prevents the conversion operation from throwing an OverflowException if the integer value is not in the range of the UInt16 type.

Visual Basic

Dim integerValue As Integer = 1216
Dim uIntegerValue As UShort

If integerValue >= UShort.MinValue And integerValue <= UShort.MaxValue Then
   uIntegerValue = CUShort(integerValue) 
   Console.WriteLine(uIntegerValue)
Else
   Console.WriteLine("Unable to convert {0} to a UInt16t.", integerValue)   
End If

int integerValue = 1216; 
ushort uIntegerValue;

if (integerValue >= ushort.MinValue & integerValue <= ushort.MaxValue)
{
   uIntegerValue = (ushort) integerValue;
   Console.WriteLine(uIntegerValue);
} 
else
{
   Console.WriteLine("Unable to convert {0} to a UInt16t.", integerValue);
}

Minvalue sample using PowerShell

# get-uint16maxvalue.ps1
# Minvalue sample using PowerShell
# Thomas Lee - tfl@psp.co.uk

# Create test a value in range of uint16
[int] $IntegerValue = 1216 
[system.int16] $uIntegerValue = 0

# Print it out
"Test 1"
"Integer value = $Integervalue"

# Now test and print results
if ($integerValue -ge [System.uint16]::MinValue -and $integerValue -le [System.uint16]::MaxValue) {
   $uIntegerValue = $integerValue
   "The short value is: $uIntegerValue"
} 
else
{
"Unable to convert {0} to a UInt16" -f $integerValue
}

""

# now test one out of range
"Test 2"
if (99999999 -ge [System.uint16]::MinValue -and 99999999 -le [System.uint16]::MaxValue) {
   $uIntegerValue = 99999999
   "The short value is: $uIntegerValue"
} 
else
{
"Unable to convert {0} to a UInt16" -f 99999999
}

This script produces the following output

PSH [C:\foo]: .\get-uint16fields.ps1
Test 1
Integer value = 1216
The short value is: 1216

Test 2
Unable to convert 99999999 to a UInt16
