Bug in Mapping.xml file? #1133

Why unsigned int maped to System.Int32 instead of System.UInt32, and the same question about unsigned short and unsigned longlong that maped to System.Int16 and System.Int64 ?

Because it is a very old decision that had to be made because SharpDX was meant to be compatible with SlimDX and all .NET APIs are mainly working with int. Int Literals in .NET are by default plain int, so that any usage of a SharpDX API would have had required to cast from int to uint.
