C# BitConverter.ToUInt16() Method


The BitConverter.ToUInt16() method in C# is used to return a 16-bit unsigned integer converted from two bytes at a specified position in a byte array.

Syntax

public static ushort ToUInt16 (byte[] val, int begnIndex);

Above, val is the byte array, whereas begnIndex is the beginning position within val.

Example

Let us now see an example -

 Live Demo

using System;
public class Demo {
   public static void Main() {
      byte[] arr = { 10, 20, 30, 40, 50};
      int count = arr.Length;
      Console.Write("Byte Array... ");
      for (int i = 0; i < count; i++) {
         Console.Write("
"+arr[i]);       }       Console.WriteLine("

Byte Array (String representation) = {0} ",       BitConverter.ToString(arr));       for (int i = 1; i < arr.Length - 1; i = i + 2) {          ushort res = BitConverter.ToUInt16(arr, i);          Console.WriteLine("
Value = "+arr[i]);          Console.WriteLine("Result = "+res);       }    } }

Output

Byte Array...
10
20
30
40
50
Byte Array (String representation) = 0A-14-1E-28-32
Value = 20
Result = 7700
Value = 40
Result = 12840

Example

Let us now see another example -

 Live Demo

using System;
public class Demo {
   public static void Main() {
      byte[] arr = { 0, 0, 1, 3, 5, 7, 10, 16, 20, 34, 42, 55, 66, 75};
      int count = arr.Length;
      Console.Write("Byte Array... ");
      for (int i = 0; i < count; i++) {
         Console.Write("
"+arr[i]);       }       Console.WriteLine("

Byte Array (String representation) = {0} ",       BitConverter.ToString(arr));       for (int i = 1; i < arr.Length - 1; i = i + 2) {          ushort res = BitConverter.ToUInt16(arr, i);          Console.WriteLine("
Value = "+arr[i]);          Console.WriteLine("Result = "+res);       }    } }

Output
