Convert integers to a Byte array VB.net
12,975
You can convert an integer (32 bit (4 byte)) to a byte array using the BitConverter class.
Dim result As Byte() = BitConverter.GetBytes(-95I)
Dim b1 As Byte = result(0) '161
Dim b2 As Byte = result(1) '255
Dim b3 As Byte = result(2) '255
Dim b4 As Byte = result(3) '255

I have the following Java code working as expected, to convert some numbers to an array of Bytes before writing to a stream.
byte[] var1 = new byte[]{ (byte)-95, (byte)(240 / 256 / 256 % 256), (byte)(240 / 256 % 256), (byte)(240 % 256), (byte)0 };
I need to write the same in VB .net I tried the following code in VB .net, but no success.
Dim var1(4) As Byte var1(0) = Byte.Parse(-95) var1(1) = Byte.Parse(240 / 256 / 256 Mod 256) var1(2) = Byte.Parse(240 / 256 Mod 256) var1(3) = Byte.Parse(240 Mod 256) var1(4) = Byte.Parse(0)
Am I doing it wrong.? How to get it done properly..
Thank you.
