BitwiseCastToInt64 Method

public static long ToInt64(
	ulong unsignedInt
)

Public Shared Function ToInt64 ( 
	unsignedInt As ULong
) As Long

public:
static long long ToInt64(
	unsigned long long unsignedInt
)

static member ToInt64 : 
        unsignedInt : uint64 -> int64 

GSF.BitwiseCast.ToInt64 = function(unsignedInt);

Parameters

unsignedInt  UInt64

Unsigned integer that is passed in to be converted to a long.

Return Value

This function is useful because Convert.ToInt64 will throw an OverflowException for values greater than Int64.MaxValue.

For example, this function correctly converts unsigned 64-bit integer 18446744073709551615 (i.e., UInt64.MaxValue) to signed 64-bit integer -1.
