Unsafe.BitCast<TFrom,TTo>(TFrom) Method

Definition

Reinterprets the given value of type TFrom as a value of type TTo.

public:
generic <typename TFrom, typename TTo>
 static TTo BitCast(TFrom source);
public:
generic <typename TFrom, typename TTo>
 where TFrom : value class where TTo : value class static TTo BitCast(TFrom source);
public static TTo BitCast<TFrom,TTo>(TFrom source) where TFrom : allows ref struct where TTo : allows ref struct;
public static TTo BitCast<TFrom,TTo>(TFrom source) where TFrom : struct where TTo : struct;
static member BitCast : 'From -> 'o
static member BitCast : 'From -> 'o (requires 'From : struct and 'o : struct)
Public Shared Function BitCast(Of TFrom, TTo) (source As TFrom) As TTo
Public Shared Function BitCast(Of TFrom As Structure, TTo As Structure) (source As TFrom) As TTo

Type Parameters

TFrom

The type of the value to reinterpret.

TTo

The type to reinterpret the value as.

Parameters

source
TFrom

The value to reinterpret.

Returns

TTo

A value of type TTo.

Exceptions

The size of TFrom and TTo are not the same.
