Convert.ToByte Method (UInt32)

 

Converts the value of the specified 32-bit unsigned integer to an equivalent 8-bit unsigned integer.

This API is not CLS-compliant.

Public Shared Function ToByte (
	value As UInteger
) As Byte

Parameters

value
Type: System.UInt32

The 32-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 integers to Byte values.

Dim numbers() As UInteger = { UInt32.MinValue, 121, 340, UInt32.MaxValue }
Dim result As Byte
For Each number As UInteger 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 UInt32 value 0 to the Byte value 0.
'       Converted the UInt32 value 121 to the Byte value 121.
'       The UInt32 value 340 is outside the range of the Byte type.
'       The UInt32 value 4294967295 is outside the range of the Byte type.
