How to return a value using constructor in c#?

I follow a convention that I won\'t use any print statements in classes, but I have done a parameter validation in a constructor. Please tell me how to return that validatio

I think my approach might be useful also. Need to add public property to constructor, then you can access this property form other class, as in below example.

// constructor
public class DoSomeStuffForm : Form
{
    private int _value;

    public DoSomeStuffForm
    {
        InitializeComponent();

        // do some calculations
        int calcResult = 60;
        _value = calcResult;
    }

    // add public property
    public int ValueToReturn
    {
        get 
        {
            return _value;
        }
    }
}

// call constructor from other class
public statc void ShowDoSomeStuffForm()
{
    int resultFromConstructor;

    DoSomeStuffForm newForm = new DoSomeStuffForm()
    newForm.StartPosition = System.Windows.Forms.FormStartPosition.CenterScreen;
    newForm.ShowDialog();

    // now you can access value from constructor
    resultFromConstructor = newForm.ValueToReturn;

    newForm.Dispose();
}
