BitConverter::ToInt64 Method
Visual Studio 2010
Returns a 64-bit signed integer converted from eight bytes at a specified position in a byte array.
Assembly: mscorlib (in mscorlib.dll)
Parameters
- value
- Type: array<System::Byte>
An array of bytes.
- startIndex
- Type: System::Int32
The starting position within value.
Return Value
Type: System::Int64A 64-bit signed integer formed by eight bytes beginning at startIndex.
| Exception | Condition |
|---|---|
| ArgumentException | startIndex is greater than or equal to the length of value minus 7, and is less than or equal to the length of value minus 1. |
| ArgumentNullException | value is nullptr. |
| ArgumentOutOfRangeException | startIndex is less than zero or greater than the length of value minus 1. |
The following code example converts elements of Byte arrays to Int64 values with the ToInt64 method.
