Better support for UIDs #3

Closed qmfrederik closed 7 years ago

qmfrederik commented 8 years ago

plist-cil is one of the few .NET plist libraries that cna handle UIDs properly, congrats to that :-).

However, UIDs are essentially numbers, and it would be great if you could change the UID class so that:

It takes an integer as a parameter (not sure what the name is used for)
When serializing the integer value, it follows the same rule as for NSNumbers -- if the value is less than byte.MaxValue, only a single byte is used, if the value is less than ushort.MaxValue, to bytes are used, and so forth.

Cheers

Hi @qmfrederik.

plist-cil is basically a C# port of https://github.com/3breadt/dd-plist so maybe both me and @3breadt can benefit from that changes?
