The following example converts an array of Int16 values to Byte values.
Dim numbers() As Short = { Int16.MinValue, -1, 0, 121, 340, Int16.MaxValue } Dim result As Byte For Each number As Short In numbers Try result = Convert.ToByte(number) Console.WriteLIne("Converted the {0} value {1} to the {2} value {3}.", _ number.GetType().Name, number, _ result.GetType().Name, result) Catch e As OverflowException Console.WriteLine("The {0} value {1} is outside the range of the Byte type.", _ number.GetType().Name, number) End Try Next ' The example displays the following output: ' The Int16 value -32768 is outside the range of the Byte type. ' The Int16 value -1 is outside the range of the Byte type. ' Converted the Int16 value 0 to the Byte value 0. ' Converted the Int16 value 121 to the Byte value 121. ' The Int16 value 340 is outside the range of the Byte type. ' The Int16 value 32767 is outside the range of the Byte type.
