i really mean this in the nicest way: if you get confused by unsigned types, stop coding. maybe the technical lead needs to have more faith in the competency of the developers he is targeting.

Yeah, but in the .NET framework unsigned types are not CLR compliant, which you might or might not be worried about.

but if you use what the value means, isn't it more readable ?

I mean if you have a file header

with a uint32 fourcc then a uint16 version value, its more readable since you know what you should look for. if you use int fourcc and int version i don"t know how the bytes map in the file.

but this applies to the whole CTS, not just C#... right?

Double, float, decimal, int, long, uint, short ¿cuál uso?

I coded these days a method that reads a binary file, but all data were represented with only two bytes (an ushort is enough). I really do not see the reason to "forget" these types. If I have coded this same method with int, I have had throw away a lot of bytes.

I want to write a Matrix (Math) with generics that can instance it with all numbers(float, double, int,...).

any idea?

I think it is imposible.
