Question

Normaly if you want for example represent 5 in byte array it will be smth like {0x00,0x00,0x00,0x05} but BitConverter gives me reversed array({0x05,0x00,0x00,0x00})
Why it is so and where I’m wrong?

Answer 1

Odds are that you are on a little-endian architecture (which is the case for the common x86 and x86-64 architectures). You can verify this with the BitConverter.IsLittleEndian property.
On such an architecture, the least significant byte comes first, which explains why

BitConverter.GetBytes(5)

produces

{ 0x05, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00 }

You could of course reverse the array if required based on the system/target endianness. You can find such an EndianBitConverter listed here.
