MaxValue Field
.NET Framework Class Library
Byte..::.MaxValue Field

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

Namespace:  System
Assembly:  mscorlib (in mscorlib.dll)
Visual Basic (Declaration)
Public Const MaxValue As Byte
Visual Basic (Usage)
Dim value As Byte

value = Byte.MaxValue
C#
public const byte MaxValue
Visual C++
public:
literal unsigned char MaxValue
JScript
public const var MaxValue : byte

The value of this constant is 255 (hexadecimal 0xFF).

The following example demonstrates how to use the MaxValue field to screen variable inputs for values that are outside the range of possible byte values.

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());
   }
}
Visual C++
public:
   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() );
      }
   }
