Syntax Dim result As UShort = CUShort(expression) expression (required; Numeric or String) Any expression in the valid range of the UShort data type
Description New in 2005. The CUShort function converts expression to the UShort data type; any fractional portion of expression is rounded. Usage at a Glance An expression that evaluates outside the valid range of the target data-type results in a runtime error. Nonnumeric expressions also generate an error. In most cases, the numeric conversion functions are a better choice than the Val function when converting a string, as the conversion functions take into account the system's regional settings. However, Val converts empty strings to zero without error. Use IsNumeric to test whether expression evaluates to a number. This function does not support named arguments. CUShort differs from the Fix and Int functions, which truncate, rather than round, the fractional part of a number. Also, Fix and Int always return the same data type as what was passed in.
Example Dim targetNumber As UShort If IsNumeric(stringNumber) Then targetNumber = CUShort(stringNumber) End If Version Differences The CUShort function is new in the 2005 version of VB. See Also CShort Function, CUInt Function, CULng Function |
