I have some old C code that is being converted to C#. There is a lot of bitwise operators such as this
const unsigned char N = 0x10;
char C;
.....
if (C & N)
{
.....
}
What would be the equivalent of this in C#? For example, the first line is invalid in C# as the compiler says there is no conversion from int to char. Nor is unsigned a valid operator in C#.
const char N = (char)0x10;
or
const char N = '\x10';
and
if ((C & N) != 0) // Be aware the != has precedence on &, so you need ()
{
}
but be aware that char in C is 1 byte, in C# it's 2 bytes, so perhaps you should use byte
const byte N = 0x10;
but perhaps you want to use flags, so you could use enum:
[Flags]
enum MyEnum : byte
{
N = 0x10
}
MyEnum C;
if (C.HasFlag(MyEnum.N))
{
}
(note that Enum.HasFlag was introduced in C# 4.0)
