Public Shared Function ToUInt64 (
	value As Short
) As ULong

Parameters

value
Type: System.Int16

The 16-bit signed integer to convert.

Return Value

Type: System.UInt64

A 64-bit unsigned integer that is equivalent to value.

Exception Condition
OverflowException

value is less than zero.

The following example attempts to convert each element in an array of 16-bit integers to an unsigned long integer.

Dim numbers() As Short = { Int16.MinValue, -1, 0, 121, 340, Int16.MaxValue }
Dim result As ULong

For Each number As Short In numbers
   Try
      result = Convert.ToUInt64(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 UInt64 type.", _
                        number.GetType().Name, number)
   End Try   
Next
' The example displays the following output:
'    The Int16 value -32768 is outside the range of the UInt64 type.
'    The Int16 value -1 is outside the range of the UInt64 type.
'    Converted the Int16 value 0 to the UInt64 value 0.
'    Converted the Int16 value 121 to the UInt64 value 121.
'    Converted the Int16 value 340 to the UInt64 value 340.
'    Converted the Int16 value 32767 to the UInt64 value 32767.
