Convert a built-in data type into an array of bytes.
BitConverter is sealed, which means that it cannot be inherited.
| Method | Meaning |
| public static longDoubleToInt64Bits(double v) | Converts v into a long integer. |
| public static byte[ ] GetBytes(bool v) | Converts v into a 1-byte array. |
| public static byte[ ] GetBytes(char v) | Converts v into a 2-byte array. |
| public static byte[ ] GetBytes(double v) | Converts v into an 8-byte. |
| public static byte[ ] GetBytes(float v) | Converts v into a 4-byte. |
| public static byte[ ] GetBytes(int v) | Converts v into a 4-byte. |
| public static byte[ ] GetBytes(long v) | Converts v into an 8-byte. |
| public static byte[ ] GetBytes(short v) | Converts v into a 2-byte. |
| public static byte[ ] GetBytes(uint v) | Converts v into a 4-byte. |
| public static byte[ ] GetBytes(ulong v) | Converts v into an 8-byte. |
| public static byte[ ] GetBytes(ushort v) | Converts v into a 2-byte. |
| public static doubleInt64BitsToDouble(long v) | Converts v into a double floating-point value. |
| public static bool ToBoolean(byte[ ] a,int idx) | Converts the byte at a[idx] into its bool equivalent. A non-zero value is converted to true; zero is converted to false. |
| public static char ToChar(byte[ ] a,int start) | Converts two bytes starting at a[start] into its char equivalent. |
| public static double ToDouble(byte[ ] a,int start) | Converts eight bytes starting at a[start] into its double equivalent. |
| public static short ToInt16(byte[ ] a,int start) | Converts two bytes starting at a[start] into its short equivalent. |
| public static int ToInt32(byte[ ] a,int start) | Converts four bytes starting at a[start] into its int equivalent. |
| public static long ToInt64(byte[ ] a,int start) | Converts eight bytes starting at a[start] into its long equivalent. |
| public static float ToSingle(byte[ ] a,int start) | Converts four bytes starting at a[start] into its float equivalent. |
| public static string ToString(byte[ ] a) | Converts the bytes in a into a string. The string contains the hexadecimal values associated with the bytes, separated by hyphens. |
| public static string ToString(byte[ ] a, int start) | Converts the bytes in a, beginning at a[start], into a string. The string contains the hexadecimal values associated with the bytes, separated by hyphens. |
| public static string ToString(byte[ ] a, int start, int count) | Converts the bytes in a, beginning at a[start] and running for count bytes, into a string. The string contains the hexadecimal values associated with the bytes, separated by hyphens. |
| public static ushort ToUInt16(byte[ ] a,int start) | Converts two bytes starting at a[start] into its ushort equivalent and returns the result. |
| public static uint ToUInt32(byte[ ] a,int start) | Converts four bytes starting at a[start] into its uint equivalent and returns the result. |
| public static ulong ToUInt64(byte[ ] a,int start) | Converts eight bytes starting at a[start] into its ulong equivalent and returns the result. |
