Int32.MinValue Field
.NET Framework (current version)
Represents the smallest possible value of Int32. This field is constant.
Assembly: mscorlib (in mscorlib.dll)
The value of this constant is -2,147,483,648; that is, hexadecimal 0x80000000.
The following example uses the MinValue property to prevent an OverflowException when converting to an Int32 value.
using System; public class Class1 { public static void Main() { long[] numbersToConvert = { 162345, 32183, -54000, Int64.MaxValue/2 }; int newNumber; foreach (long number in numbersToConvert) { if (number >= Int32.MinValue && number <= Int32.MaxValue) { newNumber = Convert.ToInt32(number); Console.WriteLine("Successfully converted {0} to an Int32.", newNumber); } else { Console.WriteLine("Unable to convert {0} to an Int32.", number); } } } } // The example displays the following output to the console: // Successfully converted 162345 to an Int32. // Successfully converted 32183 to an Int32. // Successfully converted -54000 to an Int32. // Unable to convert 4611686018427387903 to an Int32.
