title: Negative values not reflecting in the output
body: <p>I have a database column which takes values <code>1</code>,<code>0</code>,<code>-1</code>. I am using <code>uint</code> and <code>GetUInt16</code> as seen below in my class and code snippet. Somehow the negative value isn't reflected. What datatype I should use to see the negative values in the class and in <code>rdr</code>?</p>
  
  <pre><code>public class Postcommit
  {
      public string software_image_build { get; set; }
      public uint TestStatus { get; set; }
  }
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Code snippet:</p>
  
  <pre><code>  PCS[i++].TestStatus = rdr.GetUInt16(1);
  </code></pre>
