Public Shared Function ToUInt32 (
	value As Integer
) As UInteger

Parameters

value
Type: System.Int32

The 32-bit signed integer to convert.

Return Value

Type: System.UInt32

A 32-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 integer array to an unsigned integer.

Dim numbers() As Integer = { Int32.MinValue, -1203, 0, 121, 1340, Int32.MaxValue }
Dim result As UInteger
For Each number As Integer In numbers
   Try
      result = Convert.ToUInt32(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 UInt32 type.", _
                        number.GetType().Name, number)
   End Try
Next
' The example displays the following output:
'    The Int32 value -2147483648 is outside the range of the UInt32 type.
'    The Int32 value -1203 is outside the range of the UInt32 type.
'    Converted the Int32 value 0 to the UInt32 value 0.
'    Converted the Int32 value 121 to the UInt32 value 121.
'    Converted the Int32 value 1340 to the UInt32 value 1340.
'    Converted the Int32 value 2147483647 to the UInt32 value 2147483647.
