C# BitConverter.ToUInt64 Method


The BitConverter.ToUInt64() method in C# is used to return a 64-bit unsigned integer converted from eight bytes at a specified position in a byte array.

Syntax

public static ulong ToUInt64 (byte[] val, int begnIndex);

Example

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

 Live Demo

using System;
public class Demo {
   public static void Main() {
      byte[] arr = { 0, 0, 1, 3, 5, 7, 9, 11, 15 };
      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 - 7; i = i + 8) {          ulong res = BitConverter.ToUInt64(arr, i);          Console.WriteLine("
Value = "+arr[i]);          Console.WriteLine("Result = "+res);       }    } }

Output
