Data Type Question

[coldfusion244]

I need to use a 32bit datatype that is in the order of big-endian. I'm unsure of how .NET order's it's data, depending on if it's big/little I could change the data it must hold. Does anyone know what scheme MS uses? The data I'm using is 0x7E.

little endian

when I was working on itunes related stuff, I use the following method to convert the value

private static int Reverse(int value)
{
byte[] data = BitConverter.GetBytes(value);
Array.Reverse(data);
return BitConverter.ToInt32(data, 0);
}

Nice, thanks again HJB!

Also, you can use BitConverter.IsLittleEndian incase you use something like mono or dotgnu.

 

private static int Reverse(int value)
{
if(!BitConverter.IsLittleEndian)
	return value;
byte[] data = BitConverter.GetBytes(value);
Array.Reverse(data);
return BitConverter.ToInt32(data, 0);
}
