Converts the value of the specified 64-bit unsigned integer to an equivalent 8-bit unsigned integer.

This API is not CLS-compliant.

Public Shared Function ToByte (
	value As ULong
) As Byte

Parameters

value
Type: System.UInt64

The 64-bit unsigned integer to convert.

Return Value

Type: System.Byte

An 8-bit unsigned integer that is equivalent to value.

Exception Condition
OverflowException

value is greater than Byte.MaxValue.

The following example converts an array of unsigned long integers to Byte values.

Dim numbers() As ULong = { UInt64.MinValue, 121, 340, UInt64.MaxValue }
Dim result As Byte
For Each number As ULong 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:
'       Converted the UInt64 value 0 to the Byte value 0.
'       Converted the UInt64 value 121 to the Byte value 121.
'       The UInt64 value 340 is outside the range of the Byte type.
'       The UInt64 value 18446744073709551615 is outside the range of the Byte type.
