Int16 Structure

[This documentation is for preview only, and is subject to change in later releases. Blank topics are included as placeholders.]

Represents a 16-bit signed integer.

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

Syntax

'Declaration
<SerializableAttribute> _
Public Structure Int16
[SerializableAttribute]
public struct Int16
[SerializableAttribute]
public value class Int16
[<Sealed>]
[<SerializableAttribute>]
type Int16 =  struct end
JScript supports the use of structures, but not the declaration of new ones.

The Int16 type exposes the following members.

Methods

  Name Description
Public method Equals Indicates whether this instance and a specified object are equal. (Inherited from ValueType.)
Public method GetHashCode Serves as a hash function for a particular type. (Inherited from Object.)
Public method GetType Gets the Type of the current instance. (Inherited from Object.)
Public methodStatic member Parse Converts the string representation of a number to its 16-bit signed integer equivalent.
Public method ToString() () () () Converts the numeric value of this instance to its equivalent string representation. (Overrides Object. . :: . .ToString() () () ().)
Public method ToString(String) Converts the numeric value of this instance to its equivalent string representation, using the specified format.

Fields

  Name Description
Public fieldStatic member MaxValue Represents the largest possible value of an Int16. This field is constant.
Public fieldStatic member MinValue Represents the smallest possible value of Int16. This field is constant.

Remarks

The Int16 value type represents signed integers with values ranging from negative 32768 through positive 32767.

This type provides methods to convert the value of an instance of this type to its string representation, convert the string representation of a number to an instance of this type, and compare instances of this type.

Thread Safety

All members of this type are thread safe. Members that appear to modify instance state actually return a new instance initialized with the new value. As with any other type, reading and writing to a shared variable that contains an instance of this type must be protected by a lock to guarantee thread safety.
