BitwiseCastToUInt16 Method

Performs proper bitwise conversion between signed and unsigned value

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

Syntax

public static ushort ToUInt16(
	short signedInt
)

Public Shared Function ToUInt16 ( 
	signedInt As Short
) As UShort

public:
static unsigned short ToUInt16(
	short signedInt
)

static member ToUInt16 : 
        signedInt : int16 -> uint16

GSF.BitwiseCast.ToUInt16 = function(signedInt);

signedInt Int16: Signed integer that is passed in to be converted to an unsigned short.

UInt16
The unsigned short value.

Remarks

This function is useful because Convert.ToUInt16 will throw an OverflowException for values less than zero.

For example, this function correctly converts signed 16-bit integer -32768 (i.e., Int16.MinValue) to unsigned 16-bit integer 32768.
