startIndex
Int32

The starting position within value.

Returns

A 64-bit signed integer formed by eight bytes beginning at startIndex.

Exceptions

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.

value is null.

startIndex is less than zero or greater than the length of value minus 1.

Examples

The following code example converts elements of Byte arrays to Int64 values with the ToInt64 method.

   Console::WriteLine( "{0,5}{1,27}{2,24}", index, BitConverter::ToString( bytes, index, 8 ), value );
}


// Display a byte array, using multiple lines if necessary.

Remarks

The ToInt64 method converts the bytes from index startIndex to startIndex + 7 to a Int64 value. The order of bytes in the array must reflect the endianness of the computer system's architecture. For more information, see the Remarks section of the BitConverter class topic.
