Read from Byte Array

[DJ245]

Dear All, How can i read values from Byte Array? Regards, DJ.

The easiest way to read the data is to loop over the array. Here's a typical method for doing this:

for (int i = 0; i < myArray.Count; i++)
{
byte value = myArray[i];
}

Forgive your enemies - it messes with their heads

You can read larger base types from a byte array with BitConverter[^].

Be careful when using BitConverter. It uses the endianness of your CPU, so if you're byte array is coming from a hardware device with a different endianness, your BitConverter results will be messed up. See BitConverter.IsLittleEndian[^] Dybs

Indeed. Most platforms agree on endianness but particularly if you deal with embedded systems this can be a concern.

Actually i don't want its size. I need to get the value. When i iterating it displays the size. How can i get the value behind each array item?

Since your question mentioned a byte array, the size of each item is 1 byte. Pete O'Hanlon mentioned the item count within the array. One could call that a size, too.

What size exactly do you mean by this?

Each item's value is exactly what Pete O'Hanlon's answer is concerning with.

Please check the screenshot http://doubts.posterous.com/bytearray-doubt[^] Actual value in the byteArray[0] is Name of an employee, [1] is code and son on... When iterating it returns only its size.. How can i get the Name of Employee from byteArray[0]?
