public struct UInt16 : IComparable, IFormattable, 
	IConvertible, IComparable<ushort>, IEquatable<ushort>

The UInt16 type exposes the following members.

  NameDescription
Public methodSupported by the XNA FrameworkCompareTo(Object)Compares this instance to a specified object and returns an indication of their relative values.
Public methodSupported by the XNA FrameworkSupported by Portable Class LibraryCompareTo(UInt16)Compares this instance to a specified 16-bit unsigned integer and returns an indication of their relative values.
Public methodSupported by the XNA FrameworkSupported by Portable Class LibraryEquals(Object)Returns a value indicating whether this instance is equal to a specified object. (Overrides ValueType.Equals(Object).)
Public methodSupported by the XNA FrameworkSupported by Portable Class LibraryEquals(UInt16)Returns a value indicating whether this instance is equal to a specified UInt16 value.
Protected methodSupported by the XNA FrameworkSupported by Portable Class LibraryFinalizeAllows an object to try to free resources and perform other cleanup operations before it is reclaimed by garbage collection. (Inherited from Object.)
Public methodSupported by the XNA FrameworkSupported by Portable Class LibraryGetHashCodeReturns the hash code for this instance. (Overrides ValueType.GetHashCode().)
Public methodSupported by the XNA FrameworkSupported by Portable Class LibraryGetTypeGets the Type of the current instance. (Inherited from Object.)
Public methodSupported by the XNA FrameworkGetTypeCodeReturns the TypeCode for value type UInt16.
Protected methodSupported by the XNA FrameworkSupported by Portable Class LibraryMemberwiseCloneCreates a shallow copy of the current Object. (Inherited from Object.)
Public methodStatic memberSupported by the XNA FrameworkParse(String)Converts the string representation of a number to its 16-bit unsigned integer equivalent.

Public methodStatic memberSupported by Portable Class LibraryParse(String, IFormatProvider)Converts the string representation of a number in a specified culture-specific format to its 16-bit unsigned integer equivalent.
Public methodStatic memberSupported by the XNA FrameworkSupported by Portable Class LibraryParse(String, NumberStyles, IFormatProvider)Converts the string representation of a number in a specified style and culture-specific format to its 16-bit unsigned integer equivalent.
Public methodSupported by the XNA FrameworkSupported by Portable Class LibraryToString()Converts the numeric value of this instance to its equivalent string representation. (Overrides ValueType.ToString().)
Public methodSupported by the XNA FrameworkSupported by Portable Class LibraryToString(IFormatProvider)Converts the numeric value of this instance to its equivalent string representation using the specified culture-specific format information.
Public methodSupported by the XNA FrameworkToString(String)Converts the numeric value of this instance to its equivalent string representation using the specified format.
Public methodSupported by the XNA FrameworkSupported by Portable Class LibraryToString(String, IFormatProvider)Converts the numeric value of this instance to its equivalent string representation using the specified format and culture-specific format information.
Public methodStatic memberTryParse(String, UInt16)Tries to convert the string representation of a number to its 16-bit unsigned integer equivalent. A return value indicates whether the conversion succeeded or failed.
Public methodStatic memberSupported by Portable Class LibraryTryParse(String, NumberStyles, IFormatProvider, UInt16)Tries to convert the string representation of a number in a specified style and culture-specific format to its 16-bit unsigned integer equivalent. A return value indicates whether the conversion succeeded or failed.

The UInt16 value type represents unsigned integers with values ranging from 0 to 65535.

Important noteImportant

   The UInt16 type is not CLS-compliant. The CLS-compliant alternative type is Int32. Int16 can be used instead to replace a UInt16 value that ranges from zero to MaxValue. For more information about CLS compliance, see Common Language Specification.

The UInt16 structure provides methods to compare instances of this type, convert the value of an instance to its string representation, and convert the string representation of a number to an instance of this type.

For information about how format specification codes control the string representation of value types, see Formatting Types.

.NET Framework

Supported in: 4, 3.5, 3.0, 2.0, 1.1, 1.0

.NET Framework Client Profile

Supported in: 4, 3.5 SP1

Portable Class Library

Supported in: Portable Class Library

Windows 7, Windows Vista SP1 or later, Windows XP SP3, Windows XP SP2 x64 Edition, Windows Server 2008 (Server Core not supported), Windows Server 2008 R2 (Server Core supported with SP1 or later), Windows Server 2003 SP2

The .NET Framework does not support all versions of every platform. For a list of the supported versions, see .NET Framework System Requirements.

All members of this type are thread safe. Members that appear to modify instance state actually return a new instance initialized with the new value. As with any other type, reading and writing to a shared variable that contains an instance of this type must be protected by a lock to guarantee thread safety.
