Data conversion

[Guest]

In C#, how do I convert a data (could be any primitive types or user defined
structures such as int, short [] ...) to byte[]? How do I convert it back
assume I know the type in advance?

You may be able to cast primitive types :

int i =4;
byte b= (byte)i;

However, structs etc. you will most likely need to use the BinaryFormatter
class to convert a type to a byte array, and back.
