BitwiseCastToUInt16 Method
|
Performs proper bitwise conversion between signed and unsigned value
Namespace: GSFAssembly: GSF.Core (in GSF.Core.dll) Version: 2.4.241-beta+912389e96d98840d2a999d490420db618dcbe4c6
SyntaxPublic Shared Function ToUInt16 (
signedInt As Short
) As UShort
GSF.BitwiseCast.ToUInt16 = function(signedInt);
View SourceParameters
- signedInt Int16
- Signed integer that is passed in to be converted to an unsigned short.
Return Value
UInt16The unsigned short value.
RemarksThis function is useful because Convert.ToUInt16 will throw an OverflowException for values less than zero.
For example, this function correctly converts signed 16-bit integer -32768 (i.e., Int16.MinValue) to unsigned 16-bit integer 32768.
