Question

c#: How do I accept any kind of number into a function as an argument? Currently my AddDataInt32() asks specifically for Int32, but how I can accept any number, byte, ints signed or unsigned, so I can pass it on to BitConverter.GetBytes()? It’s seems silly to write same funct’s for each type 🙁

public void AddDataInt32(Int32 i) {     Data = ConcatTwoByteArrays(Data, BitConverter.GetBytes(i)); }

You can just overload the method…

public void AddData (Int32 i) {...}  public void AddData (Int16 i) {...} 

etc. One for each number type. When you make the call to the procedure, it will take any form of number that you’ve coded, with the same procedure name.
