    Gemstone.BitExtensions.BitExtensions.BitRotL = function(value, rotations);

#### Parameters

value UInt64
  Value used for bit-rotation.
rotations Int32
  Number of rotations to perform.

#### Return Value

UInt64
Value that has its bits rotated to the right the specified number of times.

#### Usage Note

In Visual Basic and C#, you can call this method as an instance method on any object of type UInt64. When you use instance method syntax to call this method, omit the first parameter. For more information, see Extension Methods (Visual Basic) or Extension Methods (C# Programming Guide).

## Remarks

Actual rotation direction is from a big-endian perspective - this is an artifact of the native .NET bit shift operators. As a result bits may actually appear to rotate right on little-endian architectures.
