BitwiseCastToUInt64 Method
|
Performs proper bitwise conversion between signed and unsigned value
Namespace: GSFAssembly: GSF.Core (in GSF.Core.dll) Version: 2.4.244-beta+c33f622c070b2c1078a06bcb41bdeb4c19d19a0b
Syntaxpublic static ulong ToUInt64(
long signedInt
)
Public Shared Function ToUInt64 (
signedInt As Long
) As ULong
GSF.BitwiseCast.ToUInt64 = function(signedInt);
View SourceParameters
- signedInt Int64
- Signed integer that is passed in to be converted to an unsigned long.
Return Value
UInt64The unsigned long value.
RemarksThis 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.
