BitConverter.GetBytes Method (UInt16)
.NET Framework 4
Returns the specified 16-bit unsigned integer value as an array of bytes.
Assembly: mscorlib (in mscorlib.dll)
Parameters
- value
- Type: System.UInt16
The number to convert.
The following code example converts the bit patterns of UInt16 values to Byte arrays with the GetBytes method.
// Example of the BitConverter.GetBytes( ushort ) method. using System; class GetBytesUInt16Demo { const string formatter = "{0,10}{1,13}"; // Convert a ushort argument to a byte array and display it. public static void GetBytesUInt16( ushort 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( ushort ) " + "\nmethod generates the following output.\n" ); Console.WriteLine( formatter, "ushort", "byte array" ); Console.WriteLine( formatter, "------", "----------" ); // Convert ushort values and display the results. GetBytesUInt16( 15 ); GetBytesUInt16( 1023 ); GetBytesUInt16( 10000 ); GetBytesUInt16( ushort.MinValue ); GetBytesUInt16( (ushort)short.MaxValue ); GetBytesUInt16( ushort.MaxValue ); } } /* This example of the BitConverter.GetBytes( ushort ) method generates the following output. ushort byte array ------ ---------- 15 0F-00 1023 FF-03 10000 10-27 0 00-00 32767 FF-7F 65535 FF-FF */
