Invert bits in a UShort

I want to invert all the bits (all 0s to 1s, all 1s to 0s) in a type
ushort. I though I would use the complement operator ~ but the compiler
won't buy it. How can I do this?

Thanks,

Is this what you want:
ushort u1 = 55;
ushort u2 = (ushort) ~u1;

This seems to work for me....

public static void Main()
{
UInt16 a = 0x55;
UInt16 b = (ushort) ~a;
Console.WriteLi ne("A={0:x}, b={1:x}", a, b);
}

Hi, I am writing a P2P client application. As such, I am creating packets that are to be sent between the peers. I would like to know how in C these bits of the packets may be programmed. These bits need to be continguous. For example: I create a packet of size 5. 2 bytes for the size, 1 for the message type, 1 for the start flag, 1 for the body, and 1 for the end flag. How to I program this?

I have some code that ends up looking alot like: ushort x = (ushort)(m + b); whereas both m and b are ushorts also. This is due to the automatic casting of values to int. Some quick questions: 1 - Why? Why would they do this, this way? Why not automatically cast it to the size of the recipient variable? I have not benchmarked this, but I cant imagine using many of these casts all over the place -
