See BitConverter.GetBytes(ulong).

See BitConverter.GetBytes(ulong).
And if speed is a factor:
unsafe static byte[] GetBytes(UInt64 value)
{
byte[] bytes = new byte[8];
fixed(byte* b = bytes)
*((UInt64*)b) = value;
return bytes;
}
The BitConverter version has a couple layers of indirection, so its
about 3 times slower (GetBytes(value)>GetUInt64Bytes(value)>internal
runtime call). It's strange, they sometimes do internal calls (for
Integral types) and sometimes they write their own (for floating-point
types).
