Is there a built in function to expand a byte[] leaving zeros at the beginning?

I've got this code BitConverter.GetBytes(width).CopyTo(resultBytes, 0); If the width is 12 it returns one byte not 4, is there a built in function to resize the array leaving 0's at the beginning to output [0, 0, 0, 12] instead of [12].

How would you convert 4 bytes in a byte array to a 32-bit float? Then how would you do the same for 8 bytes in a byte array for a 64-bit float(double)? I noticed the BitConverter class in C# has this, however I am curious about the math behind…

Is there a better way to detect endianness in .NET than BitConverter.IsLittleEndian?

It would be nice if the .NET framework just gave functions/methods from the BitConverter class that just explicitly returned an array of bytes in the proper requested endianness. I've done some functions like this in other code, but is there a…

I am allocating an array that is intentionally bigger than the result of BitConverter.GetBytes. My goal is to leave the last byte empty so that I can prevent this number from being seen as the two's compliment and have tempPosBytes2[ When I run…
