Long to array of bytes

[Jan]

How can I convert Long value to array of bytes?

 

[Chris Wilmot]

Dim MyLong As Long = 55695542

Dim msg As Byte() = System.Text.Encoding.ASCII.GetBytes(MyLong)

Thank you, but I need convert into binary (memory) form.
I need only 4 bytes in result.

ex: long value 55695542 -->

arr(0) == &HB6
arr(1) == &HD8
arr(2) == &H51
arr(3) == &H03

Please, can you give me advise

Thank you

Hi Jan,

I think you can use Shift Operators to get certain bit.
