Converts the value of the specified 32-bit signed integer to an equivalent 16-bit signed integer.
Assembly: mscorlib (in mscorlib.dll)
Parameters
- value

System.Int32
The 32-bit signed integer to convert.
| Exception | Condition |

| OverflowException | value is greater than Int16.MaxValue or less than Int16.MinValue. |
The following example attempts to convert each element in an array of integers to a 16-bit signed integer.
int[] numbers = { Int32.MinValue, -1, 0, 121, 340, Int32.MaxValue }; short result; foreach (int number in numbers) { try { result = Convert.ToInt16(number); Console.WriteLine("Converted the {0} value {1} to a {2} value {3}.", number.GetType().Name, number, result.GetType().Name, result); } catch (OverflowException) { Console.WriteLine("The {0} value {1} is outside the range of the Int16 type.", number.GetType().Name, number); } } // The example displays the following output: // The Int32 value -2147483648 is outside the range of the Int16 type. // Converted the Int32 value -1 to a Int16 value -1. // Converted the Int32 value 0 to a Int16 value 0. // Converted the Int32 value 121 to a Int16 value 121. // Converted the Int32 value 340 to a Int16 value 340. // The Int32 value 2147483647 is outside the range of the Int16 type.
