BitwiseCastToUInt64 Method

public static ulong ToUInt64(
	long signedInt
)

Public Shared Function ToUInt64 ( 
	signedInt As Long
) As ULong

public:
static unsigned long long ToUInt64(
	long long signedInt
)

static member ToUInt64 : 
        signedInt : int64 -> uint64 

GSF.BitwiseCast.ToUInt64 = function(signedInt);

Parameters

signedInt  Int64

Signed integer that is passed in to be converted to an unsigned long.

Return Value

This function is useful because Convert.ToUInt64 will throw an OverflowException for values less than zero.

For example, this function correctly converts signed 64-bit integer -9223372036854775808 (i.e., Int64.MinValue) to unsigned 64-bit integer 9223372036854775808.
