Question

Struct {
 byte F1[2]
 SHORT F2
 byte F3[512]
} BPD


CBD
{
 SHORT CLENGTH
 byte DATA[]
}

Above are 2 c++ structure. Here SHORT is of 2 byte signed.
What would be the best way to convert it into C#?

(Note that in 2nd struture length of DATA is uundefined.)

I have seen following two links.

Fixed length strings or structures in C#

and

Reading a C/C++ data structure in C# from a byte array

After reading data into structure i need to covert the short variable to big endian. (reversing bytes).

Answer 1

Solved myself.

Structures are good but if you are not going to modify any data classes are better to use.
I have create classes in c# for c++ structure and for big to little endian conversion i have create 3 library functions and it works for me.

Thnaks everybody for the valuable input.
