Question

Is there a way to convert an int to a bitmask?

example:

int i = 33;

should be converted to (not sure of the datatype)

bool[] bitmask = new[] {true, false, false, false, false, true};

Update
In reaction to most answers:

I need to do this:

BitArray bits = new BitArray(BitConverter.GetBytes(showGroup.Value));
List<String> showStrings = new List<string>();
for (int i = 0; i < bits.Length; i++)
{
    if(bits[i])
        showStrings.Add((i+1).ToString().PadLeft(2, '0'));
}

How would that go without converting it to a bitarray?

Answer 1

An int already is a bitmask. If you want to twiddle the bits, you can use bitwise operators freely on ints. If you want to convert the int to an enum that has the Flags attribute, a simple cast will suffice.
