<CLSCompliantAttribute(False)>
Public Shared Function ToByte (
	value As SByte
) As Byte

Parameters

value
Type: System.SByte

The 8-bit signed integer to be converted.

Return Value

Type: System.Byte

An 8-bit unsigned integer that is equivalent to value.

Exception Condition
OverflowException

value is less than Byte.MinValue.

The following example converts an array of SByte values to Byte values.

Dim numbers() As SByte = { SByte.MinValue, -1, 0, 10, SByte.MaxValue }
Dim result As Byte
For Each number As SByte 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:
'       The SByte value -128 is outside the range of the Byte type.
'       The SByte value -1 is outside the range of the Byte type.
'       Converted the SByte value 0 to the Byte value 0.
'       Converted the SByte value 10 to the Byte value 10.
'       Converted the SByte value 127 to the Byte value 127.
