Question

I always see the 1U code in C# especially in styles in OPEN XML SDK 2.0. Does anybody know the meaning of it?

The U means the number is an unsigned constant.

Hi, Where did you found this buddy :) +1 for the help – Allan Chua Jan 24 '12 at 06:12
I'm certain the C# language documentation explains this in the section on numeric literals. – Greg Hewgill Jan 24 '12 at 06:16

It's an unsigned literal.

For example, if you do:

var u = 1U;
Console.Write(u.GetType());

It'll tell you that it's a System.UInt32.

See the C# spec for details.

It specifies that you have an unsigned int of value 1.
