C-Sharp ConvertToUInt16 Example – Code Sample Syntax

C-Sharp ConvertToUInt16 Example – Code Sample Syntax

Purpose: – Illustrates using .

Purpose:
Converts numbers into UShort data type – UShort data type is a
16-bit (2-byte) unsigned integer that can hold values from 0 to
65,535 (unsigned). Rounds fractions to whole numbers

Syntax:
CUShort(expression)

Parameters Description
expression 0 to 65,535 (unsigned) – will throw Exception if
negative number is passed in. Rounds fractions
to whole numbers

Result Data Type Description
UShort 16-bit (2-byte) unsigned integer

Quick Example
Convert.ToUInt16(1.33) // Returns 1

Step 1: Click cs to Cut-n-paste code into clsConvertToUInt16.cs

using System;
 
public class clsConvertToUInt16
{
 
    public void Main()
    {

        Console.WriteLine(UShort1); // Returns 1
 
        //write blank line to make output easier to read
        Console.WriteLine();

        ushort UShort2 = Convert.ToUInt16(3.4);
 
        Console.WriteLine(UShort2); // Returns 3
        //write blank line to make output easier to read
        Console.WriteLine();
 
        Console.WriteLine("Example #3: 	Convert.ToUInt16(5.5)");
 
        ushort UShort3 = Convert.ToUInt16(5.5);
 
        Console.WriteLine(Convert.ToUInt16(UShort3)); // Returns 6
 
        //Prevent console from closing before you press enter
        Console.ReadLine();
 
    }
 
}

Step 2: Click cs to Cut-n-paste code into Module1.cs

Module Module1
 
    Sub Main()
 
 
        Dim myclsConvertToUInt16 As New clsConvertToUInt16
        myclsConvertToUInt16.Main()
 
 
 
    End Sub
 
End Module

Prerequistes:

  1. Install C-Sharp (Express or Standard Edition)
  2. Install SQL Server Express
  3. Download Northwind and pubs Database
  4. Attach Northwind Database to Databases in Sql Express
  5. Attach pubs Database to Databases in Sql Express

Notes:

  • Console Application is used to simplify things, but Windows Forms or Web Forms could also be used
  • You can build a library of syntax examples by using same project over and over and just commenting out what you do not want to execute in Module1.cs
