Why is Array.Length an int, and not a uint. This bothers me (just a bit) because a length value can never be negative.
This also forced me to use an int for a length-property on my own class, because when you specify an int-value, this needs to be cast explicitly…
So the ultimate question is: is there any use for an unsigned int (uint)? Even Microsoft seems not to use them.
Unsigned int isn’t CLS compliant and would therefore restrict usage of the property to those languages that do implement a
UInt.See here:
Framework 1.1
Framework 2.0
