Important

Some information relates to prerelease product that may be substantially modified before it’s released. Microsoft makes no warranties, express or implied, with respect to the information provided here.

Represents the smallest possible value of a Byte. This field is constant.

public: System::Byte MinValue = 0;
public const byte MinValue = 0;
val mutable MinValue : byte
Public Const MinValue As Byte = 0

Field Value

Value = 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 void MinMaxFields(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.
 Console.WriteLine("The MemberByte value is {0}", MemberByte.ToString());
 }
 else
 {
 Console.WriteLine("The value {0} is outside of the range of possible Byte values", numberToSet.ToString());
 }
}
let minMaxFields numberToSet =
 if numberToSet <= int Byte.MaxValue && numberToSet >= int Byte.MinValue then
 // You must explicitly convert an integer to a byte.
 let myByte = byte numberToSet

 printfn $"The MemberByte value is {myByte}"
 else
 printfn $"The value {numberToSet} is outside of the range of possible Byte values"
Public Sub MinMaxFields(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.
 Console.WriteLine("The MemberByte value is {0}.", MemberByte.ToString())
 Else
 Console.WriteLine("The value {0} is outside of the range of possible Byte values.", numberToSet.ToString())
 End If
End Sub

Remarks

The value of this constant is 0.
