Converting Object into Byte[]

[santhi]

Hi,

Pls Anyone guide me how to convert object into byte[].

I'm storing the Byte[] with id in the hashtable and while retrieving i'm
trying to put the Hashtable value into Byte[] back.But i'm not sure how to
do that convertion (ie object to byte[]).

eg
Hashtable ht = new Hashtable();
Byte[] res = new Byte[];
res = //Some value;
ht.Add(1,res);

while retirving i want to put into the byte array back.

Thanks,
Santhi

Cast it:

res = (byte[]) ht[1];
