BitwiseCastToInt16 Method

Performs proper bitwise conversion between unsigned and signed value

Namespace: GSF
Assembly: GSF.Core (in GSF.Core.dll) Version: 2.4.181-beta

Syntax

public static short ToInt16(
	ushort unsignedInt
)

Public Shared Function ToInt16 ( 
	unsignedInt As UShort
) As Short

public:
static short ToInt16(
	unsigned short unsignedInt
)

static member ToInt16 : 
        unsignedInt : uint16 -> int16

GSF.BitwiseCast.ToInt16 = function(unsignedInt);

unsignedInt UInt16: Unsigned short that is passed in to be converted to a signed short.

Int16
The converted short value.

Remarks

This function is useful because Convert.ToInt16 will throw an OverflowException for values greater than Int16.MaxValue.

For example, this function correctly converts unsigned 16-bit integer 65535 (i.e., UInt16.MaxValue) to signed 16-bit integer -1.
