Does C# support bit fields (bit packing) in structure?

Question

I think bit fields are not possible in c# structure but it is possible in c++. For Example:

typedef struct { UINT16 SrcPort:16; UINT16 DstPort:16; UINT32 SeqNum:32; UINT32 AckNum:16; UINT16 Reserved1:4; UINT16 HdrLength:4; }IP_HDR

How can we create a structure like this in c# with bit fields?

My question is how we can set bit fields in C# structure.Is there any ways to do it in C#?

No, C# does not offer any language features to define or access data storage smaller than 1 byte. You will have to mask and shift to isolate bit subranges within the data.
