UInt16.MaxValue Field

Microsoft Silverlight will reach end of support after October 2021. Learn more.

Represents the largest possible value of UInt16. This field is constant.

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

Syntax

'Declaration
Public Const MaxValue As UShort

public const ushort MaxValue

Remarks

The value of this constant is 65535; that is, hexadecimal 0xFFFF.

Examples

The following example uses the MaxValue and MinValue 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.

Dim integerValue As Integer = 1216
Dim uIntegerValue As UShort

If integerValue >= UShort.MinValue And integerValue <= UShort.MaxValue Then
   uIntegerValue = CUShort(integerValue)
   outputBlock.Text += CStr(uIntegerValue) + vbCrLf
Else
   outputBlock.Text += String.Format("Unable to convert {0} to a UInt16t.", integerValue) + vbCrLf
End If

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";
}
