BitConverter.GetBytes Method (UInt32)
Returns the specified 32-bit unsigned integer value as an array of bytes.
This API is not CLS-compliant. Namespace: System
Assembly: mscorlib (in mscorlib.dll)
Parameters
- value
- Type: System.UInt32
The number to convert.
The order of bytes in the array returned by the GetBytes method depends on whether the computer architecture is little-endian or big-endian.
The following code example converts the bit patterns of UInt32 values to Byte arrays with the GetBytes method.
// Example of the BitConverter.GetBytes( uint ) method. using System; class GetBytesUInt32Demo { const string formatter = "{0,16}{1,20}"; // Convert a uint argument to a byte array and display it. public static void GetBytesUInt32( uint argument ) { byte[ ] byteArray = BitConverter.GetBytes( argument ); Console.WriteLine( formatter, argument, BitConverter.ToString( byteArray ) ); } public static void Main( ) { Console.WriteLine( "This example of the BitConverter.GetBytes( uint ) " + "\nmethod generates the following output.\n" ); Console.WriteLine( formatter, "uint", "byte array" ); Console.WriteLine( formatter, "----", "----------" ); // Convert uint values and display the results. GetBytesUInt32( 15 ); GetBytesUInt32( 1023 ); GetBytesUInt32( 0x100000 ); GetBytesUInt32( 1000000000 ); GetBytesUInt32( uint.MinValue ); GetBytesUInt32( int.MaxValue ); GetBytesUInt32( uint.MaxValue ); } } /* This example of the BitConverter.GetBytes( uint ) method generates the following output. uint byte array ---- ---------- 15 0F-00-00-00 1023 FF-03-00-00 1048576 00-00-10-00 1000000000 00-CA-9A-3B 0 00-00-00-00 2147483647 FF-FF-FF-7F 4294967295 FF-FF-FF-FF */
