BitString Members

BitString overview

Public Static (Shared) Fields

Empty

Represents the empty string.

Public Static (Shared) Methods

Parse

Parses a string to produce a BitString. Most formats that can be produced by ToString can be accepted, but hexadecimal can be interpreted with the preceding X' to mark the following characters as being hexadecimal rather than binary.

Public Static (Shared) Operators

Addition Operator	Concatenates the operands.
Bitwise And Operator	Performs a logical AND on the two operands.
Bitwise Or Operator	Performs a logcial OR on the two operands.
Equality Operator	Compares the two operands.
Exclusive Or Operator	Perofrms a logical EXCLUSIVE-OR on the two operands
Greater Than Operator	Compares the two operands.
Greater Than Or Equal Operator	Compares the two operands.
Inequality Operator	Compares the two operands.
Left Shift Operator	Left-shifts the string BitString.
Less Than Operator	Compares the two operands.
Less Than Or Equal Operator	Compares the two operands.
Ones Complement Operator	Performs a logical NOT on the operand.
Right Shift Operator	Right-shifts the string BitString.

Public Instance Constructors

BitString

Overloaded. Initializes a new instance of the BitString class.

Public Instance Properties

Item	Retrieves the value of the bit at the given index.
Length	The length of the string.

Public Instance Methods

And	A logical and between this string and another. The two strings must be the same length.
CompareTo	Overloaded. Compares two strings. Strings are compared as strings, so while 0 being less than 1 will mean a comparison between two strings of the same size is the same as treating them as numbers, in the case of two strings of differing lengths the comparison starts at the right-most (most significant) bit, and if all bits of the shorter string are exhausted without finding a comparison, then the larger string is deemed to be greater than the shorter (0010 is greater than 0001 but less than 00100).
Concat	Creats a bitstring by concatenating another onto this one.
Contains	True if there is at least one bit with the value looked for.
CopyTo	Copies the bitstring to an array of bools.
Equals	Overloaded. Returns true if the this string is identical to the argument passed.
GetEnumerator	Returns an enumerator that enumerates through the string.
GetHashCode	Returns a code for use in hashing operations.
GetType (inherited from Object)
GetTypeCode
IndexOf	Finds the first instance of a given value
LShift	Shifts the string operand bits to the left, filling with zeros to produce a string of the same length.
Not	A bitstring that is the logical inverse of this one.
Or	A logical or between this string and another. The two strings must be the same length.
RShift	Shifts the string operand bits to the right, filling with zeros to produce a string of the same length.
Substring	Overloaded. Returns a substring of this string.
ToBoolean	Overloaded.
ToByte	Overloaded.
ToByteEnumerable	Interprets the bitstring as a series of octets (bytes) and returns those octets. Fails if the Bitstring does not contain a whole number of octets (its length is not evenly divisible by 8).
ToInt16	Overloaded.
ToInt16Enumerable	Interprets the bitstring as a series of 16-bit integers and returns those integers. Fails if the Bitstring's length is not evenly divisible by 16.
ToInt32	Overloaded.
ToInt32Enumerable	Interprets the bitstring as a series of signed 32-bit integers and returns those integers. Fails if the Bitstring's length is not evenly divisible by 32.
ToInt64	Overloaded.
ToInt64Enumerable	Interprets the bitstring as a series of signed 64-bit integers and returns those integers. Fails if the Bitstring's length is not evenly divisible by 64.
ToSByte	Overloaded.
ToSByteEnumerable	Interprets the bitstring as a series of signed octets (bytes) and returns those octets. Fails if the Bitstring does not contain a whole number of octets (its length is not evenly divisible by 8). This method is not CLS-Compliant and may not be available to languages that cannot handle signed bytes.
ToString	Overloaded. Returns a string representation of the BitString.
ToType
ToUInt16	Overloaded.
ToUInt16Enumerable	Interprets the bitstring as a series of unsigned 16-bit integers and returns those integers. Fails if the Bitstring's length is not evenly divisible by 16. This method is not CLS-Compliant and may not be available to languages that cannot handle unsigned integers.
ToUInt32	Overloaded.
ToUInt32Enumerable	Interprets the bitstring as a series of unsigned 32-bit integers and returns those integers. Fails if the Bitstring's length is not evenly divisible by 32. This method is not CLS-Compliant and may not be available to languages that cannot handle unsigned integers.
ToUInt64	Overloaded.
ToUInt64Enumerable	Interprets the bitstring as a series of unsigned 64-bit integers and returns those integers. Fails if the Bitstring's length is not evenly divisible by 64. This method is not CLS-Compliant and may not be available to languages that cannot handle unsigned integers.
Xor	A logical xor between this string and another. The two strings must be the same length.
