Public Shared Function ToUInt16 (
	value As ULong
) As UShort

Parameters

value
Type: System.UInt64

The 64-bit unsigned integer to convert.

Return Value

Type: System.UInt16

A 16-bit unsigned integer that is equivalent to value.

Exception Condition
OverflowException

value is greater than UInt16.MaxValue.

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

Dim numbers() As ULong = { UInt64.MinValue, 121, 340, UInt64.MaxValue }
Dim result As UShort
For Each number As ULong In numbers
   Try
      result = Convert.ToUInt16(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 UInt16 type.", _
                        number.GetType().Name, number)
   End Try
Next
' The example displays the following output:
'    Converted the UInt64 value '0' to the UInt16 value 0.
'    Converted the UInt64 value '121' to the UInt16 value 121.
'    Converted the UInt64 value '340' to the UInt16 value 340.
'    The UInt64 value 18446744073709551615 is outside the range of the UInt16 type.
