Unsigned integers 3

[Ruffnekk]

I've written a FAQ about working with and understanding unsigned integers in VB .NET for those who have encountered difficulties with it (like me in the past). I'm curious to see if anyone has some additional notes or corrections to it.

Nicely done! In your IntegerToUint16 function, I think you mean to check:

If value < 2 ^ 16 Then

rather than:

If value < 2 ^ 16 - 1 Then

Have a great day!

You can use the .net convert class to convert datatypes.
uints -> ints
ints -> uints.
You get an overflow exception when the numbers don't fit into the target type.
Convert.toInt32(some UInt)
