Count bits used in int

Question

If you have the binary number 10110 how can I get it to return 5? e.g a number that tells how many bits are used? There are some likewise examples listed below:

Answer 1

int CountBits(uint value)
{
    for (byte i = 32; i > 0; i--)
    {
        var b = (uint)1 << (i - 1);
        if ((value & b) == b)
            return i;
    }
    return 0;
}
