Isolate valid Data in byte[] [C#]

[Shaitan00]

--Using [VS C#.NET]--

 

Given a byte array of size 64 (baBuff[64]), this is used as a buffer to store incomming data.

Most of the time the buffers capacity is not completly used, however I know the exact length of valid data in the buffer [int DataPointer = length of valid Data]

 

Thing is I am trying to copy the valid data in my baBuff into a larger byte[] message I am creating, I don't want to be stuck coping over the entire 64bytes everytime.

Currently I am using the following code:

 

:: CODE ::

 

byte[] baTemp = new byte[DataPointer];

for (int i=0; i<nLen; i++)

{

baTemp = baBuff;

}

 

// Load Raw Data

baBuff.CopyTo(baData, 5);

 

 

Is there a better way to do this? Can I access the byte[] using something like substring?

There has to be a nicer method... any clues?

Would something like

Array.Copy(baBuff, 0, baData, 0, DataPointer);

not work?
