UInt32.MaxValue Field
Definition
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 largest possible value of UInt32. This field is constant.
public: System::UInt32 MaxValue = 4294967295;
public const uint MaxValue = 4294967295;
val mutable MaxValue : uint32
Public Const MaxValue As UInteger = 4294967295
Field Value
Value = 4294967295Examples
The following example uses the MinValue and MaxValue fields to verify that an Int64 value is within the range of the UInt32 type before it performs a type conversion. This verification prevents an OverflowException at run time.
long longValue = long.MaxValue / 2;
uint integerValue;
if (longValue <= uint.MaxValue &&
longValue >= uint.MinValue)
{
integerValue = (uint) longValue;
Console.WriteLine("Converted long integer value to {0:n0}.",
integerValue);
}
else
{
uint rangeLimit;
string relationship;
if (longValue > uint.MaxValue)
{
rangeLimit = uint.MaxValue;
relationship = "greater";
}
else
{
rangeLimit = uint.MinValue;
relationship = "less";
}
Console.WriteLine("Conversion failure: {0:n0} is {1} than {2:n0}",
longValue,
relationship,
rangeLimit);
}
let longValue = Int64.MaxValue / 2L
if longValue <= int64 UInt32.MaxValue && longValue >= int64 UInt32.MinValue then
let integerValue = uint longValue
printfn $"Converted long integer value to {integerValue:n0}."
else
let rangeLimit, relationship =
if longValue > int64 UInt32.MaxValue then
UInt32.MaxValue, "greater"
else
UInt32.MinValue, "less"
printfn $"Conversion failure: {longValue:n0} is {relationship} than {rangeLimit:n0}"

If longValue <= UInteger.MaxValue AndAlso _
longValue >= UInteger.MinValue Then
integerValue = CUInt(longValue)
Console.WriteLine("Converted long integer value to {0:n0}.", _

Dim rangeLimit As UInteger

Remarks
The value of this constant is 4,294,967,295; that is, hexadecimal 0xFFFFFFFF.
