I have a COM server that is returning a type Object that I need to cast as a
byte array. Can anyone tell me how this is performed in C#?
Thanks,

Nevermind, I think I figured it out, here is what I did so anyone can
correct me if I am going to find a problem with this later on...
Byte [] b = new byte[1023];
b = (byte [])myobj;
The problem was I was not adding the square brackets in my casting and was
getting errors.

That's fine, except you're creating a new byte array for no reason -
just generating garbage.
Just use:
byte[] b = (byte[]) myobj;

Java's InetAddress class has some methods that use
a byte-array to hold what it describes as a 'raw IP address'.
So, I assume that they mean an array like:
byte ba = new byte;
would hold an IPv4 address.
Ok, yes, in theory, there are enough bits to hold the values.
But, my Java book clearly states that a byte is a SIGNED
quantity, is part of the Integer class, and can hold values ranging from 127

I am trying to figure out how to serialize data over a socket in C#. Every
example I have seen shows sending a string by converting it to a byte array
and then passing to Send(). Simple enough. But how do I convert longs/shorts
etc. to a byte array? How about structs?
I figure I need to somehow serialize it to a stream or something but I'm a
little lost. When I did this stuff in C++ I would just cast the struct to a
void * and pass it.

I want to cast a class into a byte array. I've seen some examples of this
floating around, but they all have simple data members. What happens if I
cast something that has a ArrayList or an Array?? Does it loop through the
array and cast them all and I end up with a big array (This is what I hope
will happen)? Or does it simple cast the pointer address and I end up with a
small array??

i was into array part on tutorial and it says
i'll get an array having keys that from member variable's name

members"

I found the following code floating around somewhere and I'd like to
get some comments.
unsigned char a1= { 5,10,15,20};
unsigned char a2= { 25,30,35,40};
*(unsigned int *)a1=*(unsigned int *)a2;
// now a1=a2, a1=a2, etc.

I'm trying to do a static_cast at runtime in C# and as I understand it,
"as" is the keyword to use. Unfortunately, the compiler is trying to do
the cast a compilation time. See below.
/* TestA.cs */
namespace TEST {
class TestA {
public ushort val1;
public ushort val2;
public ushort val3;

Hello folks,
I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed.
This is as boiled down as I can make it.
Here is my compilation command:
