Hello all,
I am reading a serial device and I get 4 separate bytes (byte[4]). Put
together they form a Float type. How can I put these bytes together and get
a float?
Any ideas?
Thanks
Frank
 
You could try BitConverter.ToSingle, but watch out for endianness, as
the endianness of BitConverter is fixed by your CPU architecture. You
could always check .IsLittleEndian and swap bytes as necessary, else
Jon Skeet has an EndianBitConverter class here:
