How do I convert Byte array to long or string?

I am getting binary data form a database binary(8). I am copying it to a
byte array byte[8]. I need to covert this to a number, ulong, so I can
write it to a string in hex format.

Any idea on how I do this? I don't see any conversion methods.

BitConverter.ToUInt64()
