[Boost-users] dynamic_bitset get block_type not ulong

Hello, How do I get at the block_type value itself, not an unsigned long, from a dynamic_bitset (or std::bitset for that matter). For instance, can I do something like this? typedef unsigned char byte; boost::dynamic_bitset<byte> my_bitset(static_cast<byte>(0x00)); //Do some bit twiddling... byte my_value = static_cast<byte>(my_bitset); Or something like that. Basically I want to avoid any to_ulong() mumbo jumbo if I can just get at the underlying block_type value. Thank you... Regards, Michael Powell
