Remarks

Intel systems use little-endian byte order, other systems, such as Unix, use big-endian byte ordering. Little-endian ordering means bits are ordered such that the bit whose in-memory representation is right-most is the most-significant-bit in a byte. Big-endian ordering means bits are ordered such that the bit whose in-memory representation is left-most is the most-significant-bit in a byte.

Constructors

EndianOrder

Constructs a new instance of the EndianOrder class.

Methods

CopyBytes(Boolean, Byte, Int32)	Copies the specified Boolean value as an array of 1 byte in the target endian-order to the destination array.
