Decimal.ToUInt16() Method in C#

This method is used to convert the value of the specified Decimal to the equivalent 16-bit unsigned integer. A user can also convert a Decimal value to a 16-bit unsigned integer by using the Explicit assignment operator.

Syntax: public static ushort ToUInt16 (decimal value); Here, the value is the decimal number which is to be converted. Return Value: It returns a 16-bit unsigned integer equivalent to the specified value. Exception: This method will give OverflowException if the specified value is less than MinValue or greater than MaxValue.

Below programs illustrate the use of the above-discussed method: Example 1:

csharp

// C# program to demonstrate the
// Decimal.ToUInt16(Decimal) Method
using System;

class GFG {

    // Main Method
    public static void Main()
    {
        try {

            // Taking decimal variables
            Decimal dec1 = 65535.458M;
            Decimal dec2 = 32768.256m;

            // using Decimal.ToUInt16(Decimal) Method
            ushort val1 = Decimal.ToUInt16(dec1);

            // using Decimal.ToUInt16(Decimal) Method
            ushort val2 = Decimal.ToUInt16(dec2);

            // Printing the UInt16 value
            Console.WriteLine("The UInt16 value "
                             + "is : {0}", val1);
                           
            // Printing the UInt16 value
            Console.WriteLine("The UInt16 value "
                            + "is : {0}", val2);
                             
        }

        catch (OverflowException e) {
            Console.Write("Exception Thrown: ");
            Console.Write("{0}", e.GetType(), e.Message);
        }
    }
}

Output:

The UInt16 value is : 65535
The UInt16 value is : 32768

Example 2: For OverflowException

csharp

// C# program to demonstrate the
// Decimal.ToUInt16(Decimal) Method
using System;

class GFG {

    // Main Method
    public static void Main()
    {
        try {

            // Taking decimal variable
            // Taking the maximum value
            // of Decimal
            Decimal dec1 = Decimal.MaxValue;

            // using Decimal.ToUInt16(Decimal) Method
            // It will give error as Decimal.MaxValue
            // value is out of range from UInt16
            ushort val1 = Decimal.ToUInt16(dec1);

            // Printing the UInt16 value
            Console.WriteLine("The UInt16 value "
                              + "is : {0}",val1);
                              
        }

        catch (OverflowException e) {
            Console.Write("Exception Thrown: ");
            Console.Write("{0}", e.GetType(), e.Message);
        }
    }
}

Output:

Exception Thrown: System.OverflowException
