BitConverter::ToUInt32 Method (array<Byte>^, Int32)

 

Returns a 32-bit unsigned integer converted from four bytes at a specified position in a byte array.

This API is not CLS-compliant.

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

public:
[CLSCompliantAttribute(false)]
static unsigned int ToUInt32(
	array<unsigned char>^ value,
	int startIndex
)

Parameters

value
Type: array<System::Byte>^

An array of bytes.

startIndex
Type: System::Int32

The starting position within value.

Return Value

Type: System::UInt32

A 32-bit unsigned integer formed by four bytes beginning at startIndex.

Exception Condition
ArgumentException

startIndex is greater than or equal to the length of value minus 3, and is less than or equal to the length of value minus 1.

ArgumentNullException

value is null.

ArgumentOutOfRangeException

startIndex is less than zero or greater than the length of value minus 1.

The ToUInt32 method converts the bytes from index startIndex to startIndex + 3 to a UInt32 value. The order of bytes in the array must reflect the endianness of the computer system's architecture; for more information, see the Remarks section of the BitConverter class topic.

The following code example converts elements of Byte arrays to UInt32 values with the ToUInt32 method.

// Example of the BitConverter::ToUInt32 method.
using namespace System;

// Convert four byte array elements to an unsigned int and display it.
void BAToUInt32( array<unsigned char>^bytes, int index )
{
   unsigned int value = BitConverter::ToUInt32( bytes, index );
   Console::WriteLine( "{0,5}{1,17}{2,15}", index, BitConverter::ToString( bytes, index, 4 ), value );
}

int main()
{
   array<unsigned char>^byteArray = {15,0,0,0,0,16,0,255,3,0,0,202,154,59,255,255,255,255,127};
   Console::WriteLine( "This example of the BitConverter::ToUInt32( unsigned "
   "char[ ], int ) \nmethod generates the following output. It "
   "converts elements of a \nbyte array to unsigned int "
   "values.\n" );
   Console::WriteLine( "initial byte array" );
   Console::WriteLine( "------------------" );
   Console::WriteLine( BitConverter::ToString( byteArray ) );
   Console::WriteLine();
   Console::WriteLine( "{0,5}{1,17}{2,15}", "index", "array elements", "unsigned int" );
   Console::WriteLine( "{0,5}{1,17}{2,15}", "-----", "--------------", "------------" );

   // Convert byte array elements to unsigned int values.
   BAToUInt32( byteArray, 1 );
   BAToUInt32( byteArray, 0 );
   BAToUInt32( byteArray, 7 );
   BAToUInt32( byteArray, 3 );
   BAToUInt32( byteArray, 10 );
   BAToUInt32( byteArray, 15 );
   BAToUInt32( byteArray, 14 );
}
