Is there a way I can easily convert a char array into an int array,
without having to cast each value in the array to an int and copying
it to a new array?

Basically no. On some very unusual machines sizeof(char) == sizeof(int) and
so you can reinterpret the bits. However generally you've got to add extra
padding within the array because it consists of two or, more usually, four
bytes.

It depends on what you mean by "convert." Please describe
exactly what you have, and exactly what you want to get.

Ive read all of the data out of a Bitmap (Im ignoring anything other
than 8 bits). Because I may want to manipulate them as if they were 10
bit values I need to store them into something wider than a char
array.
No need to worry about the 10 bit thing, I know Im going to have to
bit shift them all left by 2 once they are in the int array. Its just
getting the values into the int array in the first place.

If you have to bit shift them anyway, then why can't you copy them
while you're at it ?

Since you need each value in a form different than the
one you read, you need to convert it explicitly to that new
form. There's no "bulk conversion" operator.
unsigned char orig[N];
unsigned int new[N]; /* or maybe unsigned short? */
int i;
/* read orig[] values */
for (i = 0; i < N; ++i)
new[i] = orig[i]; /* or mabye orig[i] << 2? */

Run the program on a machine where CHAR_BIT exceeds 15 and
sizeof(int) is 1. :-)
Of course you can eliminate the cast on any machine.

On the DS9K, sizeof(int) is 1, but int is two's complement and char is
sign-and-magnitude. :-)

Nope, not on a system where char and int are different sizes and have
different representations . You'd have to go with something like:
int nums[50] = { /* numbers */ };
char signed byte_nums[50];
int const *src = nums;
char signed *dest = byte_nums;
char signed const *const destend = *(&byte_nums+1) ;
do *dest++ = *src++;
while (destend != dest);

Hi there,
I am trying to write a method that accepts an array of any primitive
type and will return the same array without copying memory as an array
of bytes.
ie. I'd like to be able to do something like:
char chars = "Hello!";
byte bytes = (byte) chars;

Hi,
We are having problem in converting a byte array to string, The byte array
has char(174), char(175), char(240), char(242) and char(247) as delimiters
for the message.
when we use "System.Text.Encoding.ASCII.GetString(bytearray)" of .Net
library, we found that the char (delimiters) specified above are replaced
with different char.
