C# Convert ToByte(UInt16)

Description

Convert ToByte(UInt16) converts the value of the specified 16-bit unsigned integer to an equivalent 8-bit unsigned integer.

Syntax

Convert.ToByte(UInt16) has the following syntax.


[CLSCompliantAttribute(false)]
public static byte ToByte(
  ushort value
)

Parameters

Convert.ToByte(UInt16) has the following parameters.

value - The 16-bit unsigned integer to convert.

Returns

Convert.ToByte(UInt16) method returns An 8-bit unsigned integer that is equivalent to value.

Example

The following example converts an array of unsigned 16-bit integers to Byte values.


// w w  w.  j av a2s. c  om
using System;
public class MainClass{
  public static void Main(String[] argv){  
    ushort[] numbers = { UInt16.MinValue, 121, 340, UInt16.MaxValue };
    byte result;
    foreach (ushort number in numbers)
    {
       try {
          result = Convert.ToByte(number);
          Console.WriteLine("Converted the {0} value {1} to the {2} value {3}.", 
                            number.GetType().Name, number, 
                            result.GetType().Name, result);
       }                     
       catch (OverflowException) {
          Console.WriteLine("The {0} value {1} is outside the range of the Byte type.", 
                            number.GetType().Name, number);
       }
    }

  }
}

The code above generates the following result.
