how do I convert a .NET integer into System.Uint32 (needed to call external
function)

I assume by 'external function' you mean a function in a .DLL that isn't
part of dot net (e.g.: a windows API call or similar) in which case, the
function is expecting an unsigned 32 bit integer as a parameter and / or
returns the same. Correct?
This isn't my strong suit but I believe you can simply specify an
integer (System.Int32) and use it whereever the funtion specifies. The
external function shouldn't care if vb considers the value signed or
not- only that it has the correct number of bits. The problem in vb is
it doesn't support using unsigned integer values. It only supports
signed integers (System.Int32).
If you need to assign the value of the integer to some value greater
than 2147483647 (the positive upper limit of an Int32 value) before
passing to the function, you can use hex notation. For example, if you
need to supply the value 3000000000, you could use the notation
&HB2D05E00. Beyond that however, you are limited to treating the value
as signed.
I guess what I'm saying is, I believe you can pass Int32 values in and
out of external functions that expect unsigned 32 bit integers without
issue, but you cannot manipulate them in your code as such - your system
will always see them as being signed. (Note, C# does support unsigned
integers and may be more suited for your purposes in this instance).

Hi Boni,
Use Convert.ToUInt3 2().

In VB.NET 2002/2003 you can use 'Convert.UInt32 '. VB 2005 natively supports
unsigned numeric types.

VB.NET 2005 fully supports unsigned integer types. If you need it in
production before 2005 is released then use _AnonCoward's suggestion.

I have some code which processes an xsd. For elements of type
xs:integer the XmlSchemaDatatype object gotten from the schema
elements ElementType member contains a ValueType of System.Decimal. I
don't get it it should be System.Int32 or some other integer type but
not a decimal. Any ideas why this is happening?
btw: I'm using msxml 4.0.

Hello,
In VS2003, I tried using an enum and setting it into a field in a
datarow. It seems as if the datatype of the field in the row
determined what went into the field. If the datatype was string, then
the name of the enum item went into the field, but if the datatype was
integer, then the integer value of the enum was stored.
Is this expected behaviour? I couldn't find anything while searching
for answers.

I am working on an embedded system with a C-like programming language,

and floating point variable has to be represented by integer variable, with F stands for the length of bits representing the fractional part.
e.g. value 4.5 with F=5 is represent by 10010000 (where the higher 3 bits representing integer value, and the lower 5...

Hello folks,
I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed.
This is as boiled down as I can make it.
Here is my compilation command:
