[Mono-winforms-list] Endians

[Pavel Bansky]

Thanks for your fast reply Kornel.
I'am interested especialy in BitConverter.GetBytes()
I wrote me following little function which should return always 
little-endian array. Is this right or BitConverter always return 
little-endian array?

byte[] GetBytesLittleEndian(int number)
{
	byte[] bytearray = BitConverter.GetBytes(number);

	if ( ! BitConverter.IsLittleEndian ) Array.Reverse(bytearray);

	return(bytearray);
}


have a nice day
