ToUInt32 Method

BitConverter.ToUInt32 Method

[ This article is for Windows Phone 8 developers. If you’re developing for Windows 10, see the latest documentation. ]

Returns a 32-bit unsigned integer converted from four bytes at a specified position in a byte array.

This API is not CLS-compliant. 

Namespace:  System
Assembly:  mscorlib (in mscorlib.dll)

[CLSCompliantAttribute(false)]
public static uint ToUInt32(
	byte[] value,
	int startIndex
)

Parameters

value
Type: System.Byte []
An array of bytes.
startIndex
Type: System.Int32
The starting position within value.

Return Value

Type: System.UInt32
A 32-bit unsigned integer formed by four bytes beginning at startIndex.

ExceptionCondition
ArgumentException

startIndex is greater than or equal to the length of value minus 3, and is less than or equal to the length of value minus 1.

ArgumentNullException

value is null.

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 UInt32 values with the ToUInt32 method.


// Example of the BitConverter.ToUInt32 method.
using System;

class Example
{
   const string formatter = "{0,5}{1,17}{2,15}";

   // Convert four byte array elements to a uint and display it.
   public static void BAToUInt32(System.Windows.Controls.TextBlock outputBlock, byte[] bytes, int index)
   {
      uint value = BitConverter.ToUInt32(bytes, index);

      outputBlock.Text += String.Format(formatter, index,
          BitConverter.ToString(bytes, index, 4), value) + "\n";
   }

   public static void Demo(System.Windows.Controls.TextBlock outputBlock)
   {
      byte[] byteArray = {
             15,   0,   0,   0,   0,  16,   0, 255,   3,   0, 
              0, 202, 154,  59, 255, 255, 255, 255, 127 };

      outputBlock.Text += String.Format(
          "This example of the BitConverter.ToUInt32( byte[ ], " +
          "int ) \nmethod generates the following output. It " +
          "converts elements \nof a byte array to uint values.\n") + "\n";
      outputBlock.Text += "initial byte array" + "\n";
      outputBlock.Text += "------------------" + "\n";
      outputBlock.Text += BitConverter.ToString(byteArray) + "\n";
      outputBlock.Text += "\n";
      outputBlock.Text += String.Format(formatter, "index", "array elements",
          "uint") + "\n";
      outputBlock.Text += String.Format(formatter, "-----", "--------------",
          "----") + "\n";

      // Convert byte array elements to uint values.
      BAToUInt32(outputBlock, byteArray, 1);
      BAToUInt32(outputBlock, byteArray, 0);
      BAToUInt32(outputBlock, byteArray, 7);
      BAToUInt32(outputBlock, byteArray, 3);
      BAToUInt32(outputBlock, byteArray, 10);
      BAToUInt32(outputBlock, byteArray, 15);
      BAToUInt32(outputBlock, byteArray, 14);
   }
}
