convert c/c++ macro into equivalent code in c#

Question

plz , i need help about how can i get the equivalent code in c# to any macro code in c/c++ as this macro .

#define BYTESWAP16(x)                   \
    ((((x) >> 8) & 0x00FF) | (((x) << 8) & 0xFF00))
#define BYTESWAP32(x)                   \
    ((((x) >> 24) & 0x000000FF) | (((x) >> 8) & 0x0000FF00) | \
     (((x) << 8) & 0x00FF0000) | (((x) << 24) & 0xFF000000))
#define ntohs(x)                        BYTESWAP16(x)
#define htons(x)                        BYTESWAP16(x)
#define ntohl(x)                        BYTESWAP32(x)
#define htonl(x)                        BYTESWAP32(x)

One: Why use macros for this? there are functions. Second, this is a duplicate: [ntohs() and ntohl() equivalent?](http://stackoverflow.com/questions/2420227/ntohs-and-ntohl-equivalent) — crashmstr, Oct 17 '13 at 18:33
static uint BYTESWAP16(uint x) { return ((x >> 8) & 0x00FF) | ((x << 8) & 0xFF00); } — OldProgrammer, Oct 17 '13 at 18:35

You can use IPAddress.HostToNetworkOrder and IPAddress.NetworkToHostOrder to perform these operations. These are built into the framework.

You may define a sealed abstract class with static methods that will do the same as your macros do.

Why not just a static class? – Reed Copsey Oct 17 '13 at 18:31
Reed Copsey, it could be if he is not going to inherit some interfaces. – Vlad from Moscow Oct 17 '13 at 18:40
