byte array

[Rain]

simple question: i have a byte[] array.. how do i write to the console the
last 2 bytes of the byte[] array? thanks in advance

Hi Rain,

You can just read the bytes using the index of the last two positions.
The last two positions can be calculated using Array.Length.

byte[] data = { 14, 242, 11, 34, 5 };
Console.WriteLine(data[data.Length - 2]);
Console.WriteLine(data[data.Length - 1]);

Or did you mean something more complex?

Hi Rain,

Use BitConverter.ToXXX methods. These methods take the byte[] array and the
start index. For instance to convert the last two bytes of a byte array to
Int16 you can write the following code.

byte[] data;

short i16 = ByteConverter.ToInt16(data,data.Length-3);

Hope this helps.

Hi Rain,

Ignore my previous code snippet. Read the code as below.

byte[] data;

short i16 = BitConverter.ToInt16(data,data.Length-3);

Hope this helps.

Not quite - you've got an off by one error. It should be:

short i16 = BitConverter.ToInt16(data,data.Length-2);

(So it'll use bytes with index data.Length-2 and data.Length-1.)
