VB.NET CUShort Example – Code Sample Syntax
Abstract: – Illustrates using VB.NET CUShort Code Example.
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)
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 |
