.NET Framework Class Library
BitArray.Not Method

Inverts all the bit values in the current BitArray, so that elements set to true are changed to false, and elements set to false are changed to true.

Namespace:  System.Collections
Assembly:  mscorlib (in mscorlib.dll)
Syntax

Visual Basic
Public Function Not As BitArray
C#
public BitArray Not()
Visual C++
public:
BitArray^ Not()
F#
member Not : unit -> BitArray 

Return Value

Type: System.Collections.BitArray
The current instance with inverted bit values.
Remarks

This method is an O(n) operation, where n is Count.

Examples

The following code example shows how to apply NOT to a BitArray.
