Marshalling stucts with bit-fields in C#

Question

Is it possible to marshal a C-style struct containing bit-fields to a C# struct, or would you have to marshal it to a basic type and then do bit-masks?

E.g. I would

Answer 1

Thats my "safe c#" port of a rgb16 struct.

[StructLayout(LayoutKind.Explicit, Size = 2, Pack = 1)]
public class Color16
{
    // Btifield: 5
    [FieldOffset(0)]
    private ushort b_i;

    public ushort b
    {
        get { return (ushort)((b_i >> 11) & 0x1F); }
        set { b_i = (ushort)((b_i & ~(0x1F << 11)) | (value & 0x3F) << 11); }
    }

    // Bitfield: 6
    [FieldOffset(0)]
    private ushort g_i;

    public ushort g
    {
        get { return (ushort)((g_i >> 5) & 0x7F); }
        set { g_i = (ushort)((g_i & ~(0x7F << 5)) | (value & 0x7F) << 5); }
    }

    // Bitfield: 5
    [FieldOffset(0)]
    private ushort r_i;

    public ushort r
    {
        get { return (ushort) (r_i & 0x1F); }
        set { r_i = (ushort) ((r_i & ~0x1F) | (value & 0x1F)); }
    }

    [FieldOffset(0)]
    public ushort u;

    public Color16() { }
    public Color16(Color16 c) { u = c.u; }
    public Color16(ushort U) { u = U; }

}
