UInt16.MinValue Field
[ This article is for Windows Phone 8 developers. If you’re developing for Windows 10, see the latest documentation. ]
Represents the smallest possible value of UInt16. This field is constant.
Assembly: mscorlib (in mscorlib.dll)
The following example uses the MinValue and MaxValue properties to ensure that an Int32 value is in the range of the UInt16 type before converting it to a UInt16 value. This prevents the conversion operation from throwing an OverflowException if the integer value is not in the range of the UInt16 type.
int integerValue = 1216; ushort uIntegerValue; if (integerValue >= ushort.MinValue & integerValue <= ushort.MaxValue) { uIntegerValue = (ushort)integerValue; outputBlock.Text += uIntegerValue + "\n"; } else { outputBlock.Text += String.Format("Unable to convert {0} to a UInt16t.", integerValue) + "\n"; }
