Get max value on arithmethic overflow

Question

Is there a built-in way to get max value on arithmetic overflow?

Here's what I need:

var val = byte.MaxValue + 1;

//should be rounded down to byte.MaxValue
MyByteProperty = val;

P.S. I know I can do that by wrapping it as a checked expression as Alex answered, my question is if there's a built-in way in the language or BCL.

Answer 1

There are checked and unchecked keywords, that indicate whether exception will be thrown if overflow occures:

try
{
    MyByteProperty = checked(byte.MaxValue + 1);
}
catch (System.OverflowException e)
{
    MyByteProperty = byte.MaxValue;
}
