Parameters

Return Value
Type: System::UInt16A 16-bit unsigned integer that is equivalent to the number in value, or 0 (zero) if value is null.
| Exception | Condition |

| OverflowException | value represents a number that is less than UInt16::MinValue or greater than UInt16::MaxValue. |
Using the ToUInt16(String^) method is equivalent to passing value to the UInt16::Parse(String^) method. value is interpreted by using the formatting conventions of the current thread culture.
If you prefer not to handle an exception if the conversion fails, you can call the UInt16::TryParse method instead. It returns a Boolean value that indicates whether the conversion succeeded or failed.
