Byte.MinValue Field
[ This article is for Windows Phone 8 developers. If you’re developing for Windows 10, see the latest documentation. ]
Represents the smallest possible value of a Byte. This field is constant.
Namespace: System
Assembly: mscorlib (in mscorlib.dll)
Syntax
Public Const MinValue As Byte
public const byte MinValue
Remarks
The value of this constant is 0.
Examples
The following example demonstrates how to use the MinValue field to screen variable inputs for values that are outside the range of possible byte values.
Public Sub MinMaxFields(ByVal outputBlock As System.Windows.Controls.TextBlock, ByVal numberToSet As Integer)
If numberToSet <= CInt([Byte].MaxValue) And numberToSet >= CInt([Byte].MinValue) Then
' You must explicitly convert an integer to a byte.
MemberByte = CType(numberToSet, [Byte])
' Displays MemberByte using the ToString() method.
outputBlock.Text += String.Format("The MemberByte value is {0}.", MemberByte.ToString()) & vbCrLf
Else
outputBlock.Text += String.Format("The value {0} is outside of the range of possible Byte values.", numberToSet.ToString()) & vbCrLf
End If
End Sub 'MinMaxFields
public void MinMaxFields(System.Windows.Controls.TextBlock outputBlock, int numberToSet)
{
if (numberToSet <= (int)Byte.MaxValue && numberToSet >= (int)Byte.MinValue)
{
// You must explicitly convert an integer to a byte.
MemberByte = (Byte)numberToSet;
// Displays MemberByte using the ToString() method.
outputBlock.Text += String.Format("The MemberByte value is {0}", MemberByte.ToString()) + "\n";
}
else
{
outputBlock.Text += String.Format("The value {0} is outside of the range of possible Byte values", numberToSet.ToString()) + "\n";
}
}
