Return Value
Type: System.UInt16A 16-bit unsigned integer that is equivalent to the number in value, or 0 (zero) if value is null.
| Exception | Condition |

| OverflowException | value represents a number that is less than UInt16.MinValue or greater than UInt16.MaxValue. |
Using the ToUInt16(String) method is equivalent to passing value to the UInt16.Parse(String) method. value is interpreted by using the formatting conventions of the current thread culture.
If you prefer not to handle an exception if the conversion fails, you can call the UInt16.TryParse method instead. It returns a Boolean value that indicates whether the conversion succeeded or failed.
