    Gemstone.WordExtensions.WordExtensions.HighDoubleWord = function(quadWord);

#### Parameters

quadWord UInt64
  8-byte, 64-bit unsigned integer value.

#### Return Value

UInt32
The high-order double-word of the specified 64-bit unsigned integer value.

#### 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

On little-endian architectures (e.g., Intel platforms), this will be the word value whose in-memory representation is the same as the right-most, most-significant-word of the integer value.
