public static short ToInt16(
  byte[] value,
  int startIndex
)

Parameters

Example

The following code example converts elements of Byte arrays to Int16 values with the ToInt16 method.

using System;//www  . j  ava 2s  .  c  o  m

class BytesToInt16Demo
{
    public static void Main( )
    {
        byte[ ] byteArray = 
            { 15, 0, 0, 128, 16, 39, 240, 216, 241, 255, 127 };

        short value = BitConverter.ToInt16( byteArray, 1);
