BitConverter.ToUInt16 Method

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

Returns a 16-bit unsigned integer converted from two bytes at a specified position in a byte array.

This API is not CLS-compliant. 

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

Syntax

'Declaration
<CLSCompliantAttribute(False)> _
Public Shared Function ToUInt16 ( _
    value As Byte(), _
    startIndex As Integer _
) As UShort

[CLSCompliantAttribute(false)]
public static ushort ToUInt16(
    byte[] value,
    int startIndex
)

Parameters

  • startIndex
    Type: System.Int32
    The starting position within value.

Return Value

Type: System.UInt16
A 16-bit unsigned integer formed by two bytes beginning at startIndex.

Exceptions

Exception Condition
ArgumentException

startIndex equals the length of value minus 1.
ArgumentNullException

value is nulla null reference (Nothing in Visual Basic).
ArgumentOutOfRangeException

startIndex is less than zero or greater than the length of value minus 1.

Examples

The following code example converts elements of Byte arrays to UInt16 values with the ToUInt16 method.

Module Example

   Const formatter As String = "{0,5}{1,17}{2,10}"

   ' Convert two Byte array elements to a UInt16 and display it.

      Dim value As UInt16 = BitConverter.ToUInt16(bytes, index)

      outputBlock.Text &= String.Format(formatter, index, _
          BitConverter.ToString(bytes, index, 2), value) & vbCrLf
   End Sub
