BitConverter Class converts base data types to an array of bytes, and an array of bytes to base data types.

 

Module Example
   Public Sub Main()
      Dim value As Integer = -16
      Dim bytes() As Byte = BitConverter.GetBytes(value) 

      ' Convert bytes back to Int32.
      Dim intValue As Integer = BitConverter.ToInt32(bytes, 0)
      Console.WriteLine("{0} = {1}: {2}", 
                        value, intValue, 
                        If(value.Equals(intValue), "Round-trips", "Does not round-trip"))
   End Sub
End Module
