Hi All!

In VB6 it was relatively simple with API-function "CopyMemory".
Anybody know another possibility to make it?

Thanks,
Alexander

It's even simpler now, and type-safe to boot! BitConverter.GetBytes
takes anything and returns a Byte().

Simpler it is not. Type-safe it is not. (Anything that returns a Byte
regardless of the source is not Type anything). At least it works. A few more
simplifications like this, and even less people will see programming as fun.
