• value - The number to convert.

Returns

BitConverter.GetBytes(Int64) method returns

Example

The following code example converts the bit patterns of Int64 values to Byte arrays with the GetBytes method.

using System;//  w  w w .  j a  va  2s.  c  o  m

class GetBytesUInt64Demo
{

    public static void Main( )
    {
        byte[ ] byteArray = BitConverter.GetBytes( (Int64)1000 );
        Console.WriteLine(BitConverter.ToString( byteArray ) );

    }
}

The code above generates the following result.
