public const sbyte MinValue = -128;

val mutable MinValue : sbyte

Public Const MinValue As SByte  = -128

Field Value

Examples

The following example uses the MinValue and MaxValue fields to verify that an Int64 value is within the range of the SByte type before it performs a type conversion. This verification prevents an OverflowException at run time.

long longValue = -130; sbyte byteValue;   if (longValue <= sbyte.MaxValue &&      longValue >= sbyte.MinValue) {        byteValue = (sbyte) longValue;    Console.WriteLine("Converted long integer value to {0}.", byteValue); }    else {    sbyte rangeLimit;    string relationship;        if (longValue > sbyte.MaxValue)    {       rangeLimit = sbyte.MaxValue;       relationship = "greater";    }       else    {       rangeLimit = sbyte.MinValue;       relationship = "less";    }            Console.WriteLine("Conversion failure: {0:n0} is {1} than {2}.",                        longValue,                       relationship,                       rangeLimit); } 

let longValue = -130L  if longValue <= int64 SByte.MaxValue && longValue >= int64 SByte.MinValue then     let byteValue = int8 longValue     printfn $"Converted long integer value to {byteValue}." else     let rangeLimit, relationship =         if longValue > int64 SByte.MaxValue then             SByte.MaxValue, "greater"         else             SByte.MinValue, "less"      printfn $"Conversion failure: {longValue:n0} is {relationship} than {rangeLimit}." 

Dim longValue As Long = -130 Dim byteValue As SByte   If longValue <= SByte.MaxValue AndAlso _    longValue >= SByte.MinValue Then    byteValue = CSByte(longValue)    Console.WriteLine("Converted long integer value to {0}.", byteValue) Else    Dim rangeLimit As SByte    Dim relationship As String        If longValue > SByte.MaxValue Then       rangeLimit = SByte.MaxValue       relationship = "greater"    Else       rangeLimit = SByte.MinValue       relationship = "less"    End If            Console.WriteLine("Conversion failure: {0:n0} is {1} than {2}.", _                       longValue, _                      relationship, _                      rangeLimit) End If 

Remarks

The value of this constant is -128; that is, hexadecimal 0x80.
