Represents the largest possible value of an Int16. This field is constant.
public: short MaxValue = 32767;public const short MaxValue = 32767;val mutable MaxValue : int16Public Const MaxValue As Short = 32767Field Value
Value = 32767Examples
The following example uses the MaxValue property to prevent an OverflowException when converting to an Int16 value.
long[] numbersToConvert = {162345, 32183, -54000};
short newNumber;
foreach (long number in numbersToConvert)
{
if (number >= Int16.MinValue && number <= Int16.MaxValue)
{
newNumber = Convert.ToInt16(number);
Console.WriteLine($"Successfully converted {newNumber} to an Int16.");
}
else
{
Console.WriteLine($"Unable to convert {number} to an Int16.");
}
}
// The example displays the following output to the console:
// Unable to convert 162345 to an Int16.
// Successfully converted 32183 to an Int16.
// Unable to convert -54000 to an Int16.
open System
let numbersToConvert = [ 162345L; 32183L; -54000L ]
for number in numbersToConvert do
if number >= int64 Int16.MinValue && number <= int64 Int16.MaxValue then
let newNumber = Convert.ToInt16 number
printfn $"Successfully converted {newNumber} to an Int16."
else
printfn $"Unable to convert {number} to an Int16."
// The example displays the following output to the console:
// Unable to convert 162345 to an Int16.
// Successfully converted 32183 to an Int16.
// Unable to convert -54000 to an Int16.
Dim numbersToConvert() As Long = {162345, 32183, -54000}
Dim newNumber As Int16
For Each number As Long In NumbersToConvert
If number >= Int16.MinValue And number <= Int16.MaxValue Then
newNumber = Convert.ToInt16(number)
Console.WriteLine("Successfully converted {0} to an Int16.", _
newNumber)
Else
Console.WriteLine("Unable to convert {0} to an Int16.", number)
End If

' The example displays the following output to the console:

' Unable to convert -54000 to an Int16.
Remarks
The value of this constant is 32767; that is, hexadecimal 0x7FFF.
The MaxValue property is typically used to prevent an OverflowException when converting from a numeric type with a greater upper range (such as a UInt16 or a Int32) to an Int16. The example illustrates this usage.
