Marshal.Copy

[HosamAly]

Hello, I noticed today that the System.Runtime.InteropServices.Marshal class has overloads of the Copy method in the form: Copy(IntPtr source, int[] destination, int startIndex, int length);, but there are no overloads for unsigned data (e.g. uint). I wonder why? Thanks in advance.

Perhaps because uint type is not CLS[^]-compliant.

Thanks. But I'm wondering, since I'm creating a class library with methods that take uint, does this mean the library will not be usable except in C#?

You dont have problem with existing languages like c++.net or vb.net. But someone may develop a language that uses .net components, without support for unsigned integers. For such senarios stands the CLS.
