Question

I have a List that I’m adding 3 bytes to one of which is the length of a string that I’m dynamically passing to my method. How can I determine the length of that string and convert the int into a value that would be accepted in my list.add() method.

Code below:

string myString = "This is a sample string...I need its length";
int theLength = myString.Length;
List<byte> lb = new List<byte>();
lb.Add(0x81);
lb.Add(theLength); // this doesn't work
lb.Add(0x04);

TIA

Answer 1

Provided the string’s length is within the byte range:

lb.Add((byte)theLength);
