how to convert a short array to a byte array?
-
Hello gurus, I'd like to know how to convert an array of shorts (or what ever) to an array of bytes to send on a socket? And vice versa... Can anybody show me a code snipet please? Best regards. Fred.

Take a look at the MSDN topic of the
Array.ConvertAllmethod.

Sounds like
Buffer.BlockCopy()is what you need. Eachshortvalue will be split in half to become 2bytevalues in the byte array.//'values' is the name of the array of short values
byte[] buffer=new byte[values.Length*2];
Buffer.BlockCopy(values,0,buffer,0,buffer.Length);
//'buffer' now holds the short values as bytesC# / DHTML / VG.net / MyXaml expert currently looking for work![^]
