BitwiseCastToInt16 Method

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);

Parameters

unsignedInt  UInt16

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

Return Value

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.
