ToUInt16 Method

Decimal.ToUInt16 Method

[ This article is for Windows Phone 8 developers. If you’re developing for Windows 10, see the latest documentation. ]

Converts the value of the specified Decimal to the equivalent 16-bit unsigned integer.

This API is not CLS-compliant. The CLS-compliant alternative is ToInt32(Decimal).

Namespace:  System
Assembly:  mscorlib (in mscorlib.dll)

[CLSCompliantAttribute(false)]
public static ushort ToUInt16(
	decimal value
)

Parameters

value
Type: System.Decimal
A Decimal value to convert.

Return Value

Type: System.UInt16
A 16-bit unsigned integer equivalent to the value of value.

ExceptionCondition
OverflowException

value is greater than UInt16.MaxValue or less than UInt16.MinValue.

The return value is the integral part of the decimal value; fractional digits are truncated.

The following code example converts Decimal numbers to UInt16 values using the ToUInt16 method.
