Buffer.SetByte Method
.NET Framework 2.0
Assigns a specified value to a byte at a particular location in a specified array.
Namespace: System
Assembly: mscorlib (in mscorlib.dll)
Assembly: mscorlib (in mscorlib.dll)
The following code example assigns values to bytes at particular locations within arrays using the SetByte method.
