Convert structure to bytearray 2

[Fifer74]

Is it possible to convert a variable length structure into a bytearray ?

Thanks in advance.

Yes. You can serialize it. After it's been serialized, then it *IS* a bytearray.

I am only after the data within the structure. When I serialize it, I appear to get a lot more information that I want or need.

The .net binary serializer will always include information about the assembly, type info, etc. and this is probably what you're seeing.

If you're only interested in converting the data that the stucture holds, I'd imagine that you'd have to use the Convert function and call

MyByteArray = Convert.FromBase64String(MyStructure.MyVariable)
