Quickly asked: Should I use unsigned integers (uint, uint8, ...) in C#?

Read Original

This article analyzes whether developers should use unsigned integer types (uint, uint8, etc.) in C#. It covers key considerations like CLS compliance for libraries, the dangers of wrap-around behavior in loops and arithmetic, and practical scenarios where unsigned integers are appropriate, such as for non-negative counts. The discussion includes examples and comparisons with C/C++ behavior.
