yes with a bit of work, i can see two ways of doing this, first of all you could either get them to specify a type from the beginning, e.g you want hem all to be ints, then you just set up a loop that goes through each entry in the array and uses convert.toint32 (byte[i]). then store the converted data into another list or whatever you want to do with it, alternately you could let them pick one member from the list and convert that to what they choose, e.g, they pick entry 4, and want it to be an int, you just do a switch statement, like so

EDIT: after looking about a bit it would be best to follow the idea in this thread, convert it to ASCII version of a string every time then turn that into an int if it is viable, better than my original idea

Hi, I'm trying to convert a byte array to string --This works... System.BitConverter.ToString(bytes) "EB-55-79-20-18-B2-76-4D-85-0A-93-6B-97-33-31-B8" --This doesn't, but returns "System.Byte". How do I do this with System.Convert.ToString()???

Hi all, I'm looking for the fastest way to convert an array of bytes to String. I also need to convert a String back to its original Byte() representation. Convert.ToBase64String and Convert.FromBase64String seem like the closest thing I can find to what I'm looking for baked into the base class library. Can anyone suggest a better way to do this? TIA - Bob
