how to get ushort data in c# A909 for 41104 ??

Question

hello I'm trying to convert an int value to 16 bit unsigned char type (USHORT) in example 41104 is A909 in ushort

but in c# i tried code samples as

byte[] bytes = BitConverter.GetBytes(41104);
string bytes = BitConverter.ToString(byteArray);
//it reurns "90-A0"

(with the http://msdn.microsoft.com/tr-tr/library/8wwsdz3k.aspx msnd help)

so how to get A909 value as ushort for 41104 ?

thnx

Answer 1

Actually the correct (=hexadecimal) value is A090. I doesn't matter whether it's ushort or not, what you want is to display the hexadecimal equivalent.

The code snippet you provided already does this. One byte is "A0" the other one "90". You just have to get the order right.

Another way is to let .NET do the job

String.Format("{0:X}", 41104);

As you can see it's not really a data conversion, but rather a different way of display.

Answer 2

do you need to reorder the bytes?

byte[] bytes = BitConverter.GetBytes(41104);
if (BitConverter.IsLittleEndian)
{    List<byte> tmp = new List<byte>();
     tmp.AddRange(bytes);
     tmp.Reverse();
     bytes = tmp.ToArray();
}
