This page is specific to
Microsoft Visual Studio 2008/.NET Framework 3.5

Other versions are also available for the following:
.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)
Visual Basic (Declaration)
Public Const MinValue As UShort
Visual Basic (Usage)
Dim value As UShort

value = UShort.MinValue
C#
public const ushort MinValue
Visual C++
public:
literal unsigned short MinValue
JScript
public const var MinValue : ushort

The value of this constant is 0.

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   
C#
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      Thomas Lee   |   Edit   |   Show History
# 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
