Examples
The following code example converts elements of Byte arrays to Double values with the ToDouble
method.
// Example of the BitConverter::ToDouble method.
using namespace System;

void BAToDouble( array<unsigned char>^bytes, int index )
{
double value = BitConverter::ToDouble( bytes, index );
Console::WriteLine( "{0,5}{1,27}{2,27:E16}", index, BitConverter::ToString( bytes, index, 8 ), value );
}
// Display a byte array, using multiple lines if necessary.
void WriteMultiLineByteArray( array<unsigned char>^bytes )
{
const int rowSize = 20;
int iter;
Console::WriteLine( "initial unsigned char array" );
Console::WriteLine( "---------------------------" );

Remarks
The ToDouble method converts the bytes from index startIndex
to startIndex
+ 7 to a Double value. The order of bytes in the array must reflect the endianness of the computer system's architecture. For more information, see the Remarks section of the BitConverter class topic.
