Definition

Namespace:

System.Reflection.Metadata

Assembly:

System.Reflection.Metadata.dll

Source:

BlobWriter.cs

Implements compressed unsigned integer encoding as defined by ECMA-335-II chapter 23.2: Blobs and signatures.

public:
 void WriteCompressedInteger(int value);

public void WriteCompressedInteger (int value);

member this.WriteCompressedInteger : int -> unit

Public Sub WriteCompressedInteger (value As Integer)

Parameters

value

Int32

Exceptions

ArgumentOutOfRangeException

value can't be represented as a compressed unsigned integer.

Remarks

If the value lies between 0 (0x00) and 127 (0x7F), inclusive, encode as a one-byte integer (bit 7 is clear, value held in bits 6 through 0).

If the value lies between 28 (0x80) and 214 - 1 (0x3FFF), inclusive, encode as a 2-byte integer with bit 15 set, bit 14 clear (value held in bits 13 through 0).

Otherwise, encode as a 4-byte integer, with bit 31 set, bit 30 set, bit 29 clear (value held in bits 28 through 0).
